The bankers need to know what they should do?
Correct answer: C. noun clause
- A. adjective clause
- B. adverb clause
- C. noun clause
- D. relative clause
Explanation
- "what they should do" is a noun clause because: - It begins with the pronoun "what" - It has a subject (they) and a verb (should do) - It functions as a noun, serving as the object of the verb "know" - It cannot stand alone as a complete sentenceThe noun clause "what they should do" provides additional information about what the bankers need to know, and serves as the direct object of the verb "know".Note: Noun clauses typically begin with pronouns like "what", "how", or "why", and function as nouns in a sentence. In this case, the noun clause "what they should do" functions as the direct object of the verb "know".
