3. Rachel worked in one of her family's two furniture stores. When her grandfather expand the business and build three more stores, Rachel realized that he would need a lot of
capital to get the construction started. She suggested that her grandfather raise the money by
selling shares of stock in the company to just a few people, not to the general public. Her
grandfather filed Articles of Incorporation with the government. He sold 1,000 shares of stock
to 100 people and kept 1,500 shares.

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).
