Match each sentence with the function of the noun clause in bold.

Even though you didn't bold the noun clauses, it is still obvious which ones they are in these sentences.

1. The noun clause is <em>what I saw in the closet. </em>The function that this noun clause performs is subject. Subject of a sentence is what performs a particular action - in this case, the subject (or the entire noun clause) has left the narrator speechless. If it's confusing, you can replace the clause with a simple pronoun <em>it - </em>It left me speechless, and then it's easier to see it is indeed a subject.

2. The noun clause is <em>how to swim. </em>The function that this noun clause performs is direct object. Direct objects answer the questions <em>whom </em>or <em>what - </em>in this case, you can simply ask - What did I learn when I was six? And the answer would be that entire noun clause - <em>how to swim. </em>

3. The noun clauses here are <em>what my conscience was telling me </em>and <em>what I wanted to do. </em>The function that these noun clauses are performing is object of a preposition. Object of a preposition is really easy to spot - it is a word, phrase, or an entire clause which is located right after a preposition. In this example, the word <em>between </em>is a preposition, and the clauses following it are its objects.

4. The noun clause here is <em>what kept me awake all night. </em>The function that this noun clause performs is predicative nominative. A predicative nominative is a noun, a noun phrase, or a noun clause that is found after a linking verb in a sentence. A linking verb connects two parts of a sentence - here, that verb is <em>is </em>and the clause following it is its nominative.

Lines 349-359 why might this part of Kings speech be considered controversial
Ratling [72]

Answer:

The excerpt that you are mentioning, between lines 349 and 359 belongs to  Dr. Martin Luther King Jr´s speech "Beyond Vietnam", which he delivered to the world in 1967. This entire speech came to people in America almost like a bucketfull of cold water at the height of heat due to the Vietnam War, mostly because it portrayed the rising feelings of rejection towards the war on the side of the American people, but also because it brought people to realize why America had been wrong in pursuing this war.

Essentially, while Dr. King expounds on the need for America, and the world at large, to oppose Communism, and rather fight to expand, and improve, democracy, Dr. King also exposes Americans to a truly harsh reality. The first, that America has forgotten what it is like to fight for what its right: for justice and liberty, for love, rather than a simple desire to defeat the Communist threat. But between lines 349 and 359, particularly, Dr. King starts calling America out on its forgetfullness of what is right, of doing things for the right reasons and expounds that, due to success, America has forgotten a lot of the ideals that made her such an important nation, and a front against Communism. In fact, it seems that Dr. King almost reminds people that while America grew comfortable in her own good times, and initiated the Vietnam War simply to repel a system that questioned their desire for money, comfort, and welfare, it seemed as if Communism had turned out to be the system that fought for the welfare of the poor, the oppressed. He states that in his speech, almost like a slap, given that up to that point, the whole reason for America fighting in Vietnam had been to repel, and protect, other nations from the evil spread of Communism. Dr. King shows America another reality, and almost places Communism as an example, in those lines only, of what America should be doing.

This is why these particular lines might have caused a lot of controversy, even amongst Dr. King´s own followers.
