Explanation:

In the book we learn that most people in Maycomb are not sympathetic to the plight of Tom Robinson. This is particularly evident when we learn about the jury and their verdict. However, there are a few exceptions that show that not everyone in the town feels the same way. One of these instances is the fact that Miss Maudie invites the Robinson family to her house. Another example is the editorial that Mr. Underwood writes criticizing the verdict.

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).
