English clauses type 1 and type 2

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could please help me with the following question. I'm supposed to figure out, from a list of sentences, which ones contain NOUN compliment clause (Type 2). According to my teacher, Type 2 clauses are "a grammatical unit containing a verb element and participants" (finite verb, infinitive, gerundive, past participle construction).

Now, I know that 'Noun compliment clauses' usually start with a relative pronoun and are followed by a quantity word and sometimes a proposition. However I'm not sure how the two: noun compliments with type 2 clauses come together.

For example:

"She told both of them what she thought of them." - would this be a Noun compliment clause (type 2)? its a Noun compliment with past participle construction

"Ten years ago, I was so short that I couldn't even touch my toes." - is this a type 2 constucrtion? why or why not?

"Do you know that Mary was never baptized?" - would this be a Noun compliment with clause 2 construction?

~Thank-you!
