Which line most directly states the speaker’s feelings in "song vii" by rabindranath tagore? “she has no pride of dress and decoration.” “their jingling would drown thy whispers.” “my poet’s vanity dies in shame before thy sight.” “like a flute of reed for thee to fill with music.”

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).

there is no sentence to look at.
