Question

Transform the following simple sentence to a complex sentence containing a noun clause:
He admitted his crime. [Intermediate]

• A. He made an admission to a crime.
• B. He made an admission about a crime.
• C. He admitted that he had committed a crime.
• D. He admitted to his crime.

Answer 1

The correct option is C He admitted that he had committed a crime.

A simple sentence can be converted into a complex sentence by expanding the phrase or word into a complex sentence. The complex sentence can be a noun clause, adjective clause or adverb clause.

In the given sentence, the noun 'his crime' can be expanded into the noun clause 'that he had committed a crime'. Options A and B are not logically correct. Option D is not a complex sentence.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
