Answer 1

The sentence in which the noun clause functions as the object of a preposition is:

"Veteran trainers offer a great deal of love and discipline to whatever dogs they train."

A noun clause is a dependent clause that functions as a noun. In this case, the noun clause "whatever dogs they train" functions as object of a preposition. It directly follows the preposition "to".

Answer 2

Answer:

b. Veteran trainers offer a great deal of love and discipline to whatever dogs they train.

Explanation:

The noun clause "whatever dogs they train" is the object of the preposition to.

a. These experts say that the best time to begin a dog’s training is when the dog is still a puppy.

This is a noun clause that functions as a predicate nominative.

c. These experts say that the best time to begin a dog’s training is when the dog is still a puppy.

This is a noun clause that functions as a direct object.

d. Whoever trains a dog should have experience.

This is a noun clause that functions as a subject.
