"About the Pythagorean theorem" (sentence 3).

It begins with the preposition about and includes its object the Pythagorean theorem. The others are an infinitive phrase ("not to use..."), a phrase with a gerund or subordinating element ("Before passing out the test"), and a that-clause ("that the test took longer than expected").
