1. From what he has seen, what does the man think of the mechanism by which he'll be hanged?

The man thinks that the mechanism is terrible and that he will be able to end his life without difficulties. This is something he would like to avoid, because he wanted to go back to his family.

Explanation:

This question is about "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" which tells the story of a Confederate man who is about to be hanged by the Union Army. While the soldiers of the union are preparing all the machinery that will hang him, the man enters a wave of stress that causes all his senses to intensify. With that, the man has a much greater perception of things and when he sees the apparatus that will hang him, he has the perception that it will be agonizing and that it will finish him off in seconds.

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).
