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.
Concept:
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
→ 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,
→ Rachel NPVP
→ Rachel Name VP
→ Rachel Rachel ate ART N
→ Rachel Rachel ate a N
→ Rachel Rachel ate a peach.
Hence the correct answer is option 1.
