Which words in the sentence are the complete noun clause?
My younger brother complains about whatever is on his plate.
a. on his plate
b. my younger brother complains about whatever
c. my younger brother
d. whatever is on his plate
The correct answer is D) whatever is on his plate. A would be a prepositional phrase, not a clause. B is a fragment. C is a noun phrase, not a clause. A clause has to have a finite verb.
