Understanding the of a text is an integral part of analyzing it.
a.
subheadings
b.
organization
c.
annotation
d.
synthesis

The correct option is B: ORGANIZATION

Explanation:

Before thinking about the options that have been given to us we have to remember that most texts share some features, between them there are:

Now that we know three features that most of the texts have we can think in the different types of texts that exist:

1. Narrative texts

2. Descriptive texts

3. Argumentative texts

4. Expositive texts

5. Scientific texts

Finally, the answer that we have to answer is option B: ORGANIZATION because, as we have seen, every kind of text has its features, so knowing it everything will be easier for us at the moment of understanding it. Option A: SUBHEADINGS cannot be the correct one because, in some way, the presence or absence of subheadings responds to the structure organization and its respective theme, but in a restrictive way. Option C: ANNOTATION is not the one because annotations are just a minimum part of the text that adds extra information, so they are not strictly related to the main topic; and finally option D: SYNTHESIS is wrong because not all the texts types have a synthesis part, as we saw, it depends on the kind of text that we have and the purposes that it follows.

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).
