After meeting Mala, Mrs. Croft states, "She is a perfect lady." What is the significance of the interaction that happens next between the narrator and Mala?

post the passage. we don’t know what you’re talking about

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).

what are the options?
