[1] many people have argued that nothing could justify the president’s use of the atomic bomb because it killed so many innocent civilians. [2] truman himself refused to drop a third atomic bomb on japan because he was horrified by the death and devastation the bomb had caused. [3] however, he never regretted his decision to use the bomb in the first place. [4] using the bomb brought an immediate end to a war that might have gone on for months or even years longer. which sentence states a counterclaim? sentence 1 sentence 2 sentence 3 sentence 4

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).
