Answer:
What the author writes about thoughtfully are the United States.
Explanation:
Noun clauses are dependent (also called subordinate) clauses that act as nouns. Accordingly, they can function as the subjects, direct and indirect objects, predicate nominatives, and objects of a preposition of sentences, just like nouns. They begin with words such as <em>how, that, what, whatever, when, where, whether, which, whichever, who, whoever, whom, whomever, </em>and<em> why, </em>which makes them easier to recognize.
The given sentence can be rewritten by introducing a noun clause related to the object (the United States): <em>What the author writes about thoughtfully are the United States.</em>
Answer:
World War II was considered to be the bloodiest conflict in recorded history. When surrounded by more death than is realistically imaginable, one soldier was able to use music as a way to communicate what no words could.
On a muddy evening two weeks after D-Day, Jack Leroy Tueller and his crew were waiting anxiously for the last German sniper that was watching them be eliminated. Feeling stressed, Tueller pulled out his trumpet to calm down, despite the wishes of his Commander.
Believing that the sniper was likely feeling just as scared and alone as they were, he decided to play out a famous German love song to try and ease the mutual tension. Sure enough, a military police truck drove up to their camp the following morning containing some recently captured prisoners, one of which was the last sniper. After inquiring about who the trumpet player was, he explained that the song made him think about his family back home in Germany, and he could not bring himself to fire after hearing it and gave himself up instead.
Music, it seems, can heal and inspire more than one type of mind wound. It strengthens the mind, inspires memories, and comforts the distressed.
