Question

Choose whether the following is true or false:
"We didn't know if she would have gone ahead with the rash decision" uses a noun clause to combine the sentences: "Would she have gone ahead with the rash decision? We didn't know."

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Noun clauses can begin with 'that', 'if', 'whether' and so on. The question "Would she have gone ahead with the rash decision?" which when combined with "We didn't know" becomes a statement. Hence 'if' is incorporated into the sentence. The clause, "if she would have... ." is a noun clause that is also the subordinate clause here (because it does not express a complete thought). Hence the statement is true.
Using this explanation, option A is correct and B is incorrect.
