English(help, please)
Hi, there
Could you help me with two questions?
1)Would you say "Tomorrow you will find out what is that mysterious job of your brother" or "Tomorrow you will find out what that mysterious job of your brother is"? Which one is right?
2) Should I say "the dark chocolate CAKE" or "the dark chocolate ONE" in this conversation?
A: We have two cakes: dark chocolate and white chocolate" B: I'll take the dark chocolate ONE/CAKE"
What would you say?

In your first example, I'd say -
Tomorrow, you will find out what mysterious job your brother is doing.
or
You will find out what mysterious job your brother is doing, tomorrow.
or
You will find out, tomorrow, what mysterious job your brother is doing.
(Notice the only thing that changes is the position of the adverb - "tomorrow")
For the second example, if asked this question in a restaurant or a bakery, I'd answer -
I'll take the dark chocolate, please.
( I wouldn't need to say the word "cake" because it was a choice between two cakes)

in the second question I would say: A dark one.

Hope this is some help.

For number one, I would normally end that sentence with "is". To make it even clearer, use the possessive instead of "of".
I would say, "Tomorrow we will find out what your brother's mysterious job is."
