Answer 1

The two sentences that use a noun clause are:

1. Emily spent several days thinking about what she had to do in order to make a good grade.
2. Why they didn’t return any of my phone calls or emails is the question I want answered.

Both of these sentences contain noun clauses that function as subjects or objects within the sentence. "What she had to do in order to make a good grade" is the object of "thinking about," and "Why they didn’t return any of my phone calls or emails" is the subject of the sentence.
