with the noun clauses in the preceding Lesson_.

placed last.
+Example+.--_That the story of William Tell is a myth_ is now believed =
_It_ is now believed _that the story of William Tell is a myth_.
+Direction+.--_By the aid of the expletive it, transpose five subject
clauses in Lesson 71_.
Often the clause used as object complement may be placed first.
+Direction+.--_Transpose such of the clauses used as object complements, in
the preceding Lessons, as admit transposition. Punctuate them if they need
punctuation_.

independent clause between its parts,
+Example+.--The story of William Tell, _it is now believed_, is a myth.
(Notice that the principal clause, used parenthetically, is set off by the
comma.)
+Direction+.--_Write the following sentences, using the independent clauses
