Read the excerpt from poe’s "the fall of the house of usher." "his eyes were bent fixedly before him, and throughout his whole countenance there reigned a stony rigidity. but, as i placed my hand upon his shoulder, there came a strong shudder over his whole person; a sickly smile quivered about his lips; and i saw that he spoke in a low, hurried, and gibbering murmur, as if unconscious of my presence." which statement best describes the effect of narration on the story? a. the narration cultivates sympathy for usher’s illness. b. the narration cultivates concern about the men’s friendship. c. the narration cultivates dread about usher’s mental demise. d. the narration cultivates hatred for usher and his sister.

The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or the penultimate option.

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).
