We are working on identifying phrases in my grammar class.

This sentence is from an exercise in the textbook:

"I wonder when the notice will arrive."

The instructor's manual, with the answers, identifies the constituents of
this sentence as

Noun phrase             verb phrase             noun phrase
        I               wonder  when the notice will arrive

I've always thought of "wonder" as an intransitive verb.

My questions:
1. Is wonder a transitive verb?
2. What kind of phrase is "when the notice will arrive."

(I know it's actually a clause. But for the purpose of this exercise, we are
identifying it as a type of phrase.)
