Q.2. Identify at least three noun clauses in this short passage.
Julia d’ Souza loved baking cakes. She would make fluffy ones for her grandmother, chocolate cakes for her nephews and finally tall white vanilla cream cakes for special events.
One day, a customer came in for a look. She went through the entire store and loudly declared, ‘I like what I see’. She came up to the counter and said, ‘I need to speak with the baker’.
Julia wasn’t in the shop that day because poor grandmamma was not feeling too well.
The shy girl, Chiri, was behind the counter. She said. ‘I don’t know how she can be reached.’ Annoyed at this, Ms. Noronha placed a card on the counter and said, ‘If the owner is interested in selling this place, tell her to give me a call. Otherwise, I have other means to persuade.’
What she said was loud and clear. She meant to buy the bakery.
Upon her return, Julia found a distressed Chiri. Chiri explained to her what happened. Julia patted herself and jumped around looking for something. ‘Where I put my things is a mystery,’ she humbly quipped. At last, she drags an old phonebook out of a trunk and takes out an old dilapidated card. The card read Mr. JK. Singh, miracle worker.
Chiri was more curious. Who is this miracle worker? What could he possibly do?
All her questions disappeared the moment he saw Mr. JK Singh, the miracle worker walk into the bakery the very next day.

Three noun clauses are:

• ‘I like what I see’.
• I don’t know how she can be reached
• What she said was loud and clear
