Barbara wants to add one of the following sentences to her story. Which version of the sentence is the most descriptive? A.
There were a lot of fish in the water, and Abigail could not stop herself from admiring all of them as they swam along to their destination.
B.
Thinking about all that she had to do, Abigail decided to take a break in her walk along the creek to admire the tons of fish silently swimming in the water next to her.
C.
Abigail kneeled and looked down at the water in the creek; it was so clear she could see the fish, the rocks, and the plants on the bottom.
D.
The gushing creek's water, pure and clear, allowed Abigail to observe the traveling school of sockeye salmon, gracefully gliding along in peaceful companionship.

I think D "The gushing creek's water, pure and clear, allowed Abigail to observe the traveling school of sockeye salmon, gracefully gliding along in peaceful companionship." is the most descriptive I was going to say C but ive realize that D was more descriptive.

Explanation:

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).
