Answer: A Bunburyist is a person who claims to have to visit or take care of a friend, who is only fictional, in order to avoid his or her obligations and responsibilities.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little bit on the answer, it can be added that it was Oscar Wilde the one that coined that term. The character of Algernon has a fictional friend, "an invaluable permanent invalid" named Bunbury, whom he uses as an excuse to avoid some of his social obligations, claiming that he summons him to his bed and asks for his assistance. Since Jack also resorts to his allegedly younger brother in order to escape from his social obligations, Algernon also refers to him as a "confirmed Bunburyist." Unlike Algernon, however, Jack does not recognize his morally wrong act, and is determined to "kill" his brother if his beloved Gwendolen accepts him.

Select the correct noun clause in the sentence below. Then choose the function of the noun clause.
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Noun clause: whoever answers the question.

Function of clause: objects of a preposition.

Explanation:

Noun clauses are those clauses that function as a noun and has a subject and a verb. They are dependent clauses and can be of different types, depending on their function in the sentence.

In the given sentence <em>"the teacher will call on whoever answers the question"</em>, the noun clause is "whoever answers the question". This is because noun clauses start with words such as "what, how, who, which, whoever, whenever" etc.

And the noun clause in this sentence functions as an object of a preposition. An object of preposition means that the noun clause comes after a preposition in a sentence and acts as an object in the sentence.
