Question 1

A diagram shows: [Circle] = noun, [Square] = verb, [Triangle] = adjective. A sentence structure diagram shows: [Circle][Triangle][Square][Circle]. Which English sentence matches this pattern?

Accepted Answer

The tired soldier marched the road.

Answer

Circle(noun)+Triangle(adj)+Square(verb)+Circle(noun) = noun+adjective+verb+noun structure.

Question 2

A visual grammar rule shows arrows: Word A → Word B means B must agree with A. An image shows: [Noun: feminine] → [Adjective]. In a test language, feminine nouns require adjective suffix '-af'. The noun 'Talu' (feminine) is modified by 'bren' (long). What is the correct adjective form?

Accepted Answer

Brenaf

Answer

The arrow shows the adjective must agree with the feminine noun by taking '-af': 'brenaf.'

Question 3

An image shows a sentence box with slots: [SLOT 1: Time] [SLOT 2: Subject] [SLOT 3: Verb] [SLOT 4: Object]. You are given: Subject='Kenu'(dog), Verb='vel'(chases), Object='nalu'(horse), Time='drek'(now). Which arrangement is correct?

Accepted Answer

Drek kenu vel nalu.

Answer

Fill slots in order: Time(drek)+Subject(kenu)+Verb(vel)+Object(nalu) = 'Drek kenu vel nalu.'

Question 4

A picture grammar shows: [single dot] = singular, [double dot] = plural. Nouns shown as boxes, verbs as ovals. A new symbol has a box with a double dot. What does this represent?

Accepted Answer

A plural noun

Answer

Box = noun, double dot = plural → plural noun.

Question 5

A grammar diagram uses brackets: {A} means optional, [A] means required. A rule reads: [Subject] {Adjective} [Verb] {Adverb}. Which sentence CANNOT be generated by this rule?

Accepted Answer

Walks slowly.

Answer

'Walks slowly' has no subject — but [Subject] is required, so this sentence is invalid.
