How can I define the part of speechs of each word in this sentence?
Here are the clauses:
The Data indicate = main clause
that 40 percent of the land ... is private = one dependent clause
that Israel plans to keep in any future deal with the Palestinians = second dependent clause
The first dependent clause is a noun clause, serving as the direct object after "indicate."
The second dependent clause is an adjective clause modifying "land."
