Answer:
The syntactic dependence relation among the words in the sentence "The lanky man by the tree will eat the food in the evening" can be represented using a dependency parse tree, where each word is a node in the tree and the arcs between the nodes indicate the syntactic relationships between them. Here is one possible parse tree for the sentence:
will
/ \
man eat
/ \ | \
The tree the food in evening
| | | | | |
lanky the by the
In this parse tree, the word "man" is the head (governing) of the noun phrase "The lanky man", and the prepositional phrase "by the tree" modifies "man". The verb "will eat" is the head of the predicate, and the noun phrase "the food" is its direct object. The prepositional phrase "in the evening" modifies the verb "will eat". The word "will" serves as the root of the sentence.
