A predicate is everything that is not the subject. The verb is in the predicate.
Bob knows who broke the window.

BOB IS THE SUBJECT
KNOWS IS THE VERB
PREDICATE: KNOWS WHO BROKE THE WINDOW
RELATIVE PRONOUN: WHO (introduces the noun clause)
The VERB in the NOUN CLAUSE is broke
Predicate Nominative: Window
ANSWER TO NUMBER 1! The noun clause is: WHO BROKE THE WINDOW!!!!!!!
The NOUN CLAUSE is being used as a direct object. (It receives the action of the verb.)
