The correct option for identifying a noun clause in a sentence is:
**a** by evaluating whether the dependent clause can be replaced with a noun or pronoun.
Noun clauses function as nouns in a sentence, meaning they can often be replaced with a pronoun or a noun. For instance, in the sentence "What you said surprised me," the clause "What you said" acts as the subject and can be replaced with "It," indicating that it is a noun clause.
