Identify the following Clause:I want to see what had happened.
Correct answer: A. Noun clause
- A. Noun clause
- B. Adjective clause
- C. Adverb clause
- D. Independent clause
Explanation
Noun Clause (Correct): A noun clause functions like a noun in a sentence. In this case, "what had happened" acts as the direct object of the verb "want to see." It fills the position where a noun would typically go to complete the meaning of the sentence ("I want to see something").
