A.

It is a first-person voice, which can be seen on the use of first-person pronouns from the beginning through the end.

B.

The speaker presents as civillian and the poem adresses a soldier. This can be seen both in the poem and in the title of it.

C.

Not only tries to conserve the same rhythm and meter by linking the end of a verse with the following, it also emphasizes a phrase or word and shows the relation of the phrase or word to what has gone before (almost like sentence diagramming). This adds richness to the poem and its images, like in the first indentation between ‘quarrel’ and ‘stood still’.

D.

That image of shooting but shooting ‘goods’, food and comfort, produces an effect of surprise, of slight shock due to the inversion: in this case, the civillian does the shooting, not the soldier. The image is unexpected, but it also further describes this civillian by describing the items that are going to be shot: items that are tied to life, they can prolonge life (it’s food) and not end it, like bullets.

E.

The question poised at the end can be read as being ‘shot’ by the civillian to both the soldier and also the reader. The question proposes a reflection about war, about what is the purpose or intent of it, what is the ulterior meaning behind it. Can a soldier find meaning on it? Can a civillian do it? The decision of ending with a question ties to this idea of keeping the poem open and alive in the memory of its readers, instead of a firm or concrete affimartion.

F.

The poet finds war to be something incomprehensible, something that doesn’t make sense or have a real meaning behind it. It’s senseless, it is “impartial death”, “confusion” and incomprehensible to both the civillians and the soldiers. While the poet has this attitude about war, it shows empathy and consideration for the soldier, for its “plight”, as one can see at the end. The poet has hope and wants the soldier (and the reader by extent) to reflect on war, to form a sort of empathy link with the civillian(s).

2. List five objects that produce waves with a large amplitude and five that produce waves
Arada [10]

The objects that produce large amplitude waves are Stars, Large machines, Rocks falling from the mountain, Earthquakes, Volcanoes

The objects producing small amplitude waves include ping-pong ball, Tuning fork, stones, Speakers, Spring

<u>Explanation</u>:

The wave's amplitude is characterised by the ultimate displacement of an object from its median position. Generally, wave with high energy (or the waves emanating from big bodies or high energy bodies) are high amplitude waves. Since the body has a high amount of energy, it produces a comparatively large amount of displacement of the particle. hence the high amplitude.

Similarly, small bodies or bodies with less energy produces a low amplitude wave. This also can be understood in terms of displacement of the particle from its mean position.

1) What is wrong with the following rule of English syntactic structure?
Mkey [24]

1) What is wrong with the following rule of English syntactic structure?

Answer:  The correct version of this rule is: "A prepositional phrase is formed with a preposition followed by <u>a noun/noun phrase/pronoun.</u>"

Explanation:

<u>Prepositional phrase</u> normally consists of a preposition which is followed either by a noun, pronoun or a noun phrase. If we state in the definition that a preposition is followed by a noun only, it will not encompass all of the cases and will lead to certain ungrammatical structures, such as "with girl". In this particular case, we need to add an article before the noun, and thus create a noun phrase "a girl."

2) Do phrase structure rules represent deep structure or surface structure?

Answer: Deep structure.

Explanation:

The two terms, deep structure and surface structure, were proposed by Noam Chomsky, a linguist and a cognitive scientist. Chomsky argued that deep structures are generated by phrase-structure rules, while surface structures are constructed from deep structures when they undergo certain transformations. As he defined it, <u>deep structure</u> represents concepts, thoughts and ideas, while the language that we use to describe the deep structure is called <u>surface structure</u>. Deep structure is a necessary condition for the application of transformation rules.

3) Which of the following expressions are structurally ambiguous and in what way?

Answer:

(a) The meaning of this sentence can be interpreted as "for small boys and (all) girls" or "for small boys and (small) girls."

b) "The parents of the bride and (the) groom" - as if only the bride's parents were present

"The parents of the bride and (the parents of the) groom"

d) The history teacher could be from England, or the teacher could teach English history

e) "Flying planes" can be interpreted as planes that are flying, or one's occupation

f) The students either complained to everyone whom they could not understand, or they told everyone about their problem that they could not understand.

Explanation:

Let us first define what structural ambiguity is. Structural (also known as syntactic) ambiguity is a situation in which there are multiple possible interpretations of a single piece of language (it can be a phrase, sentence, clause, etc.). The ambiguity occurs due to the way in which words and phrases are organized.  In this case, all sentences except sentence c) are structurally ambiguous.

Lexical ambiguity, on the other hand, is when a single word can be interpreted in different ways. This is seen in sentence c), where we have different meanings for "legs" and "foot."
