Which of the following options has correctly shown the top­down parsing for the sentence "Rachel ate a peach"? (Consider NP, VP, N, V, ART means noun predicate, verb predicate, noun, verb and article respectively) Correct Answer <p>S → NPVP</p> <p>→ Name VP</p> <p>→ Rachel V NP</p> <p>→ Rachel ate ART N</p> <p>→ Rachel ate a N</p> <p>→ Rachel ate a peach</p>

The correct answer is option 1.

The top-down parsing technique parses the input and begins building a parse tree from the root node to the leaf nodes.

The given data,

Consider

NP= noun predicate,

VP= verb predicate,

N= noun,

V=verb,

ART= article.

Option 1:

The given sentence is true, S→  Rachel ate a peach

S → NPVP

→ Name VP

→ Rachel V NP

→ Rachel ate ART N

→ Rachel ate a N

→ Rachel ate a peach

Option 2:

The given sentence is False, S→  Rachel ate a peach

S → Name VP derives the string-like below,

S→ Rachel VP

S → Rachel ate 

Option 3:

The given sentence is False, S→  Rachel ate a peach

S → Name NPVP derives the string-like below,

→ Rachel NPVP

→ Rachel Name VP

→ Rachel Rachel ate ART N

→ Rachel Rachel ate a N

→ Rachel Rachel ate a peach.

Option 4:

The given sentence is False, S→  Rachel ate a peach

S → Name NPVP derives the string-like below,
