Question

State whether the following is true or false:
A complex sentence must have a main clause and a subordinate clause. The subordinate clause can be a noun clause.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The statement is true because complex sentences are made up of at least one main clause and one subordinate clause. A noun clause is a subordinate clause that functions as a noun.
For example, 'You will eat whatever you want to eat.' is a complex sentence, where 'you will eat' is the main clause and 'whatever you want to eat' is a noun clause that functions as the object of the verb 'will eat' and is also a subordinate clause. (It does not express a complete thought.)
Hence option A is correct and B is incorrect.
