Still, it would obviously be irresponsible not to take the objections of the police into consideration, however late they are in arriving. a. obviously c. however b. objections d. still Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D

D

Explanation:

the sentence does not violate the phrase structure second rule (introduced by noam chomsky) because noun phrases consist of a determiner such as a, the or every, and a noun. in the sentence, the noun phrase the cake includes a determiner (the) and a noun (cake).

on the other hand, the first rule indicates that a sentence encloses a noun phrase, followed by a verb phrase. the example sentence can be analysed as follows:

john (n) + ate (v) + the (det) + cake (n).

c. with one finger is the answer
