Which is the best definition of a complement, in grammar? a. part of the prepositional phrase in a sentence b. an adverb and the words that follow c. a word that complete the meaning of a verb d. a word or word group that shows physical action

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).
