Hi !

CORRECT ANSWER ► A

/Although she already has nine kittens/, /the five-year-old girl begged for one more./

-

If a sentence begins with although, then you must use a comma.

A is the only sentence with a comma.

D is wrong because the tenses aren't correct = past simple  & present...

hope this helps☺☺☺

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).
