You begin with a topic, then write sentences, words, or ideas related to that topic. which prewriting strategy fits the discription?

The answer would be cluster because Clustering is a type of pre-writing that allows a writer to explore many ideas as soon as they occur to them. ... For example, if a writer were writing a paper about the value of a college education, they might choose the word "expectations" and write that word in the middle of the sheet of paper.

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).
