3. Mark the nominal group as much as you can, and then draw structure of each nominal group.

Earth is a biosphere, with complementary systems integrated to produce and sustain life. Plants
and animals are two primary systems in the biosphere's cycle of life, with plants "exhaling"
oxygen through photosynthesis and animals inhaling oxygen through the lungs and exhaling
carbon dioxide as a byproduct. Plants require carbon dioxide to live and flourish with their end-
product again becoming oxygen. This balancing process of complementary systems is known as
respiration and photosynthesis. Both plants and animals respire, as detailed on the University of
Hamburg's website, but only plants continue the process of photosynthesis, which is the
conversion of the sun's energy into usable energy for both plants and animals. Photosynthesis is
the conversion of sunlight into a molecule of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This ATP is a
storage container of energy which can be accessed by life forms other than plants. According to
Estrella Mountain Community College, this is the process activated in plants when converting
energy from the sun into oxygen. Plants take in sunlight, water and carbon dioxide molecules
and release oxygen molecules.

6. In this question, two short essays on the topic of smoking ban are given. So, you are
supposed to evaluate these two essays by keeping in mind the following instructions:
i. Underline and enumerate the nominal groups by making the tables.
ii. Categorize adjectives whether they are epithet or classifier as shown in the
question no.1.
iii. Categorize the types of post-modifiers, and then sort out whether they are
propositional group, finite relative clauses, non-finite relative clauses, adjective
groups, adverb groups, apposition nominal group and reflective pronoun) as
shown in the question no.1.
iv. In which essay, nominal groups with pre-modifiers are higher?
v. Which essay conveys maximum information on basis of nominal group, and
justify your answer with your nominal group analysis?
vi. Then, try your best to convert the essay which has minimum information on the
basis of nominal groups into the essay which has maximum information by
properly utilizing the nominal groups of pre- modifiers. (hint: Do not use

a) Yes, for the love of God, please ban smoking at Japanese restaurants. I have spent
too much time in a hospital watching otherwise beautiful and pleasant people
suffer from their decision to smoke cigarettes, and so I have been vehemently
opposed to all forms of tobacco usage since I began working in the hospital.
There is nothing more painful than watching someone go really slowly and
painfully, and this is what happens to almost all smokers who come into our
hospital. Not only does smoking have immediate impacts upon your short-term
health, it also really affects the last years of your life. What might have been
otherwise tolerable aches and pains from old age will instead become excruciating
injuries and exhausting diseases. I think that they should even go so far as to make
a rule that would make it illegal to smoke at any public place. I know that
smokers have rights and they are people just like everyone else, but they do not
have enough respect for human life to make decisions of this nature. I really hope
that the world as a whole will take a more serious stance against smoking, and I
hope that as part of this, the poor people of Japan who are subjected to cigarette
smoke will also find some solace.
b) Smoking is a bad habit. The smokers not only ruin their lives but also of those
around him. Smoking is injurious to health, we all hear that. But no one pay
attention. Although the trend is reduind but still is a serious problem. The
smokers, at restaurants smoke like the way they do usually. But they do not care
about those sitting around. The people who dislike smoking and consider its
hazards, when go to restaurant all their carefulness goes maven. They protect their
children from these hazards all their life. But at such public places like restaurants
they do not know what to do. The smokers just tags if with them. They, being shy,
can't request him to stop. The smoke spread by smoking contains a lot of harmful
chemicals like nicotine. When someone breathes in such environment these
chemicals are also in haled. Thus, who don't smoke but dislike it are also affected
by its hazards. More ever, it is an immoral art on the whole. One should behave
sensibly at public places. He has his domain to rule. But he can't be permitted to
play with the lives of others. Thus, smoking should be banned at public places
especially at restaurants.
