Explanation:

Noun clauses are dependent clauses that act as nouns. In a sentence, they are used the same way as nouns are, which means that they can function as the subject, direct or indirect object, predicate nominative, object of a preposition, or the appositive. They begin with words such as how, that, what, whatever, when, where, whether, which, whichever, who, whoever, whom, whomever, and why.

The subject is what the sentence is about - what performs an action or is described.

The direct object is what receives an action represented by the verb, and the indirect object is the receiver of the direct object.

The predicate nominative is a word or phrase that follows a linking verb and renames or describes the subject.

The object of a preposition is the noun or pronoun that follows the preposition.

The appositive is a noun or pronoun used next to another noun or pronoun to explain or identify it.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
