To identify a noun clause in a sentence, you can look for the option:

by evaluating whether the dependent clause can be replaced with a noun or pronoun.

Noun clauses function in a sentence as a noun would, meaning they can serve as the subject, object, or complement of a verb. If the dependent clause can be substituted with a noun or pronoun and still make sense in the context of the sentence, it is a noun clause.
