Which sentence in this excerpt from Mark Twain's "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note" is an example of satire? I was admitted by a gorgeou

s flunkey, and shown into a sumptuous room where a couple of elderly gentlemen were sitting. They sent away the servant, and made me sit down. They had just finished their breakfast, and the sight of the remains of it almost overpowered me. I could hardly keep my wits together in the presence of that food, but as I was not asked to sample it, I had to bear my trouble as best I could. Now, something had been happening there a little before, which I did not know anything about until a good many days afterwards, but I will tell you about it now. Those two old brothers had been having a pretty hot argument a couple of days before, and had ended by agreeing to decide it by a bet, which is the English way of settling everything. You will remember that the Bank of England once issued two notes of a million pounds each, to be used for a special purpose connected with some public transaction with a foreign country. For some reason or other only one of these had been used and canceled; the other still lay in the vaults of the Bank.

select the noun clause in each sentence. Whatever you do make sure you're home on time. Janice couldn't decide what she should m
Bond [772]

Answer: The noun clause in the first sentence is "Whatever you do", while the noun clause in the second sentence is "what she should major in at college".

Explanation: A noun clause is a dependent clause, that is to say a clause that does not express a full thought, which functions as a noun. Moreover, a noun clause is generally introduced by a relative pronoun. In the first sentence<u>, the noun clause is "Whatever you do" and it is functioning as the subject of the sentence, while in the second sentence, the noun clause is "what she should major in at college" and it is performing the function of direct object. </u>Therefore, both of them are acting as nouns.
