Answer:

A. Rhett was unwilling to listen to what his friend told him.

C. Whoever said that the early bird catches the worm was right.

Explanation:

A noun clause is a group of words (with a subject and a verb) within a sentence functioning as a noun and normally referring to a fact, event, situation, process or idea. Since this type of clause are nouns, it can be a subject, a direct or indirect object, a predicate nominative, or an object of a preposition, and it can be referred to with pronouns like it and that. Furthermore, many of them begin with the words who, whoever, what, whatever, that, whether, which, and others.

Option A's noun clause is “what his friend told him,” because this clause is acting as the object of the preposition “to.” Furthermore, we can check that it is a noun clause because it can be replaced with the pronoun “it.”

In option C, the noun clause is “Whoever said that the early bird catches the worm” because it is the subject of the sentence, that is, what is being dealt with. Likewise, we can confirm that it is a noun clause because it can be replaced with the pronoun “it.”

Answer:

"Provisional drivers could each save up to £500 on their car insurance by undertaking advanced driving lessons," the government has confirmed.

"We want people to go on improving their driving skills throughout their driving careers," said David Ashworth, a junior minister at the Department for Transport. "This is about creating the right sort of education and incentivising people to do it."

Explanation:

You haven't provided the complete question, but I found a similar one online. I assume that your task is to correct punctuation, especially quotation marks.

Quotation marks are used in direct speech - when you want to relay someone's words in the exact way they were spoken. Quoted words will be framed by quotation marks. In this case, the reporting clause (the part that doesn't contain quoted words) will be separated from quoted words by a comma. Commas and periods are always included inside the quotation marks, as you can see in the Answer section.
