What are noun clauses?</h2>
- A noun clause refers to a clause that serves the same purpose as a noun and is usually dependent. Just like nouns do, a noun clause names peoples, things, places, and ideas.
- Noun clauses typically have a verb and a subject, but they cannot express a complete thought in a sentence; hence they are known as dependent clauses. Since noun clauses cannot form complete sentences, they are usually used together with an independent clause.
- A noun clause can either be a subject or an object. Objects compromise direct objects, indirect objects, or prepositional objects.
Example(s):
Whatever Brenda (subject) cooked made me happy.
Do you understand what the homework entails(direct object)?
Always honor whichever person you serve(indirect object) for an excellent service.
I want to work with whoever is excellent in the skill(prepositional object).
Hope this helps,

Answer:
Has just begun to develop survival skills
Explanation:
An excerpt from the story supports that: "As he went along he smelled things, as well, his distended, quivering nostrils carrying to his brain an endless series of messages from the outside world. Also, his hearing was acute, and had been so trained that it operated automatically. Without conscious effort, he heard all the slight sounds in the apparent quiet—heard, and differentiated, and classified these sounds—whether they were of the wind rustling the leaves, of the humming of bees and gnats, of the distant rumble of the sea that drifted to him only in lulls, or of the gopher, just under his foot, shoving a pouchful of earth into the entrance of his hole."
From the above excerpt, we can deduce that Edwin was actually developing his survival skills. In developing his survival skills, his smelling, feeling and hearing organs were alert and firm. When the bear came, Edwin stood firm without running away. He was able to make the bear to leave them. Edwin was building experience and skills which might be relevant.

The expression<em> "the map is not the territory", </em>was first said by the Polish scientist, <em>Alfred Korzybski.</em>
It is a metaphor. There is the reality of something (as perceived by the senses). And there are labels, symbols, abstraction of that reality created by the mind/thought for the sake of convenience, communication, or to make undersanding easier. We are often looking at maps rather than the territory, without realising it. Mind is an expert at doing this.
Korzybski held that many people do confuse maps with territories, that is, confuse models of reality with reality itself. In other words, the description of the thing is not the thing itself. The model is not reality.
