Read the passage from "to autumn." who hath seen thee oft amid thy store? sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find thee sitting carelessly on a granary floor, which best identifies and interprets the poetic device that is used in the underlined phrase? simile; autumn is like a grain storage unit metaphor; autumn is brown like grain imagery; a girl sits in a full granary personification; autumn sits on the floor with the abundant harvest

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 narrator is saying that the old lady made her feel uncomfortable. you know this because they say "i found that rather irksome", "perhaps it was her being so upright and trim", and "i don't think it was that, because i thought that quaintly pleasant." hope this !
