Answer:

We can infer from the passage that (A) Tony enjoyed spending time in the park.

Explanation:

In the given passage, we read that Tony liked the parks. More parks meant more happiness for Tony.

Initially he was very happy to see the pavements getting disappeared under the bulldozers. As thought that more parks would be built that way. But soon he was concerned, as he saw workers building more pavements. The number of pavements were more than the ones disappeared under bulldozer. So, we see how Tony enjoyed spending time in the park and observed all these things. We do not infer form the passage that he was a member of city council, as per Option B or in construction business as per Option C. Neither he was an avid environmentalist as per Option D.

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).
