which of the following sentences contains a noun clause?
A. Louis did not know that jocie could not swim
B. Since last august we have not seen a drop of rain
C. Since raccoons, commonly considered a pest, are very intelligent animals
D. The book that Finn is reading is borrowed from the local library.
The correct answer is A. Louis did not know that jocie could not swim. The noun clause in this sentence is "that Jocie could not swim". It is called a noun clause because it acts like a noun, and could easily be replaced with one (e.g. Louis did not know biology). It is a dependent (subordinate) clause, which means it can't stand alone, as a separate sentence.
