Answer 1

The Deep Structure of the sentence is represented in 'Will the Boy Win?' while the Surface Structure is represented in 'The Boy Will Win.'

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence 'Will the Boy Win?' represents the Deep Structure, while the sentence 'The Boy Will Win.' represents the Surface Structure.

The Deep Structure refers to the underlying meaning and grammatical structure of a sentence, while the Surface Structure refers to the actual words and syntax used in the sentence.

In the first sentence, the question word 'Will' at the beginning indicates that it is a question, which is a characteristic of a Deep Structure. In the second sentence, the subject 'The Boy' and the verb 'Will Win' are in their standard word order, representing a Surface Structure.
