No one ever knew what it was.
The underlined is a/an __________ clause.
Answer: B
'What it was' is a Noun clause.
The clause has its own subject and verb ('it was') and acts as the object of the verb 'knew': no one ever knew what? The answer is the whole clause, just as a noun would be ('no one ever knew the truth'). A clause doing the work of a noun is a noun clause.
It is not a principal clause, since it cannot stand alone, and it does not describe a noun (adjective clause) or tell how, when, where or why (adverb clause).
