Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable noun clause:
will be rewarded.

• A. Rashmi's hard work
• B. Whoever scores the highest
• C. Wherever we go we
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Whoever scores the highest

A noun clause is a dependent clause that functions as a noun. It usually begins with what, whatever, whom, that and other such relative pronouns. A noun clause can act as a subject, object, predicate nominative or object of a preposition, in a sentence.
Option B is correct as it is a noun clause that functions as the subject of the verb "will be rewarded". The noun clause has a subject "whoever" and a verb "scores".
Option A is incorrect because it is not a noun clause, it is a phrase.
Similarly, option C is incorrect because it contains a fragment of a word "we" to another clause "wherever we go", on the whole it is not a noun clause.
Option D is incorrect because the answer lies in B.
