Dillon searched inside and outside the washer and dryer again. He checked the stairs, the floors, even the insides of the other clothes he'd washed. Meanwhile, a single, lonely sock lay on his bed, waiting. Based on the text, which sentence is most likely to be true?

A. Dillon collects socks.
B. Dillon doesn't like washing clothes
C. Dillon lost a rock

A I think because of the last sentence or word loney single sock waiting..which sounds like he washed a Pair of sock but actually only washed a Sock and lost another pair...Which he was searching

 A Dillon collects socks? because why would he be looking so hard for a sock

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).
