"Oh, mother," Arachne would answer. Then she would go on weaving. She thought that her work was far more

important than sleep. In the morning, she always puffed

up with pride when she saw what she had made in the

dark.

The cloths she wove were very beautiful. In fact, they

were the best in all the land, and news of them traveled

fast. So, it was not long before folks showed up at

Arachne's door just to watch her work.

folks showed up . . just to watch her work.

Explanation:

The lines "folks showed up . . just to watch her work" best predicts that Arachne might be a better weaver than Athena because it might mean that Athena, the goddess of handicraft, wisdom and warfare is less admired by people when the news of Arachne spread across the land.

Arachne who wove beautiful clothes became a sight which many wanted to see. Many people travelled from different places to get a glimpse of her weaving sidelining Athena and making her less important.

she is later raised by him and his wife, madame valmonde, who sees her as gift from god, as the couple cannot have their own children. later, desiree falls in love with a wealthy man, armand aubigny, and they get married.

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).
