Answer.
Explanation:
II. ‘’Between the black pages of the album, ancient photographs dimly revealed the grim faces of ancestors nervelessly paralysed in different attitudes of thought and apparent concentration.’’
(a) In the above sentence, identify all the (i) nouns, (ii) adjectives, (iii) adverbs,
(iv) prepositions
(b) Identify its subject.
If the NP in a PP is long and complicated, the PP will appear complicated,
though the overall structure is in fact simply [P + NP]. In fact there’s no limit
to how long a PP can be. One reason for this is that the NP within a PP can
itself contain a PP (which will contain another NP (which can contain another
PP (and so on (and so on)))). Bearing this in mind, (c) first, for each preposition in the above sentence, identify the PP of which
it is head,
(d) then, for each N, identify the NP of which it is the head.
Example: The first P is between, which is complemented by the NP the black
pages of the album. So, between is the head of the PP between the black pages
of the album. Notice that the PP isn’t just between the black pages. This is
because of the album modifies pages and so must be included within the NP
complementing between. The next P is of . . .
