State whether the given statement is true/false. “that he went past the guards unnoticed” is the noun clause in apposition to the noun in the sentence – “Adithya walked so slowly that he went past the guards unnoticed”. Correct Answer False

A noun clause can act as a subject of verb, object of verb, complement of subject, object, adjective and prepositions too. Here, the noun clause acts as the adjective complement to the noun “Adithya’. It is not am apposition as it does not relatively combine the two sentences. Complements are continuation of previous clauses that gives additional meaning to the sentence. However, appositions have almost the same meaning of the other part of the sentence and overlaps with it to give a complete meaning. Thus, the statement given is false.
