The two sentences that use a noun clause are:
B. Emily spent several days thinking about what she had to do in order to make a good grade.
E. Why they didn't return any of my phone calls or emails is the question I want answered.
In sentence B, the clause "what she had to do in order to make a good grade" acts as the object of the preposition "about." In sentence E, the clause "Why they didn't return any of my phone calls or emails" serves as the subject of the sentence.
