Final answer:

To compare the two sentences and draw a syntax tree for each interpretation, analyze the structure of the sentences and label the correct tree for each interpretation.

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare the two sentences and draw a syntax tree for each interpretation, we need to analyze the structure of the sentences.

Interpretation 1: 'The shoes that I am wearing have spikes.'

The subject is 'the shoes that I am wearing.'

The verb is 'have.'

The object is 'spikes.'

Interpretation 2: 'The ball has spikes.'

The subject is 'the ball.'

The verb is 'has.'

The object is 'spikes.'

Based on these analyses, we can draw the syntax trees for both interpretations and label them accordingly. The correct tree for interpretation 1 would be labeled as 'The shoes that I am wearing have spikes' and the correct tree for interpretation 2 would be labeled as 'The ball has spikes.'
