Read the excerpt from part 1 of the odyssey by homer.

they fell in, soon enough, with lotus-eaters,
who showed no will to do us harm, only
offering the sweet lotus to our friends—
but those who ate this honeyed plant, the lotus,
never cared to report, nor to return:
they longed to stay forever, browsing on
that native bloom, forgetful of their homeland.
i drove them, all three wailing, to the ships,
tied them down under their rowing benches,
and called the rest: all hands aboard;
come, clear the beach and no one taste
the lotus, or you lose your hope of home.

which line from the excerpt supports the conclusion that odysseus cares for his men?

they fell in, soon enough, with lotus-eaters,
offering the sweet lotus to our friends—
they longed to stay forever, browsing on
i drove them, all three wailing, to the ships,

D) I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships,

"I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships, "

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).
