A story’s setting affects its plot as it influences what kinds of events can take place.

The setting of the story helps in the sequencing of the main actions and events of the story. For instance, when imagining a merry setting of any celebration, the actions that are expected to happen are happy and joyous.

Hence, settings play a vital role which impact and influence what occurs in the plot.

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).

the correct answer is:   [d]:

              →       " fond of fighting " .
