Answer 1

The correct answer is 'Head - Celebrations; Determiner - Eighty thousand; Pre-modifier - 5 November bonfire; Post-modifier - on the cobbled streets of the little town of Lewes', which identifies the grammatical components in the given sentence.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sentence "Eighty thousand people crowd on the cobbled streets of the little town of Lewes for 5 November bonfire Celebrations" has several components, including a head, determiner, post-modifier, and pre-modifier. The correct identification among the provided options is:

• Head: Celebrations
• Determiner: Eighty thousand
• Pre-modifier: 5 November bonfire
• Post-modifier: on the cobbled streets of the little town of Lewes

To clarify, the 'head' is the central noun that the rest of the phrase is providing information about, which in this case, is 'Celebrations'. The 'determiner' gives information about quantity, and 'eighty thousand' specifies the number of people involved. The 'pre-modifier' is placed before the head noun to modify or describe it, and '5 November bonfire' qualifies what type of celebrations. The 'post-modifier' gives additional information following the head noun and 'on the cobbled streets of the little town of Lewes' specifies the location of the celebrations.
