Question

Identify the type of noun clause in the given sentence:
A person who trusts no one can't be trusted.

• A. Object of preposition
• B. Subject complement
• C. Subject
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Subject

Option B is incorrect since the noun clause does not follow a linking verb. Option A is incorrect as well since there is no preposition in the sentence for the noun clause to follow. In the sentence the noun clause "who can't be trusted" is part of the subject of the sentence. Option C is, therefore, correct since it is the subject while option D is wrong.
