Part a: what is meant by the word “gustatory” as it is used in paragraph 19?
a. acting strangely
b. related to eating
c. being reserved and polite
d. following what others do

The answer is related to eating.

Explanation:

Gustatory is a word derived from the Latin word gustare. It means to taste, therefore when someone use the word gustatory, they refer to the concept of eating, of tasting something.

You may, for example, use the expression "gustatory experience" to describe a meal or a dish that tasted particularly delicious.

It is used in more formal speech rather than casual. It is also use in medicine and science when referring to the sense of taste.

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).

wordsworth tends to see nature as 'out there'; a presence which surrounds humans, and contributes to human life, but is different from humans. if you look at a typical wordsworth poem (there was a boy, ye knew him well ye rocks) - wordsworth talks about nature as something that needs to be learned about and understood, nature is different from us.  

if you look at a byron poem (the isles of greece is a good one) - byron looks at nature mainly for what it already means to man. wordsworth will look at a landscape and see the mountains, trees, valleys, and rivers as almost spiritual presences - wordsworth wants to get to know nature.  

byron will look at the same landscape and he will want to know who lives there, what are the villages? are there any farms or mines, is there some history?  

wordsworth looks at nature for what it is; byron is forever asking what it means.  

wordsworth thinks that humans are part of nature; byron thinks that nature is part of being human
