True or False: In the sentence “I was surprised to find many fun parties in Scarborough,” the chunk “many fun parties in Scarborough” cannot be a constituent. We can confidently make this conclusion as it fails the omission test (*I was surprised to find __).

What is the motivation for performing constituency tests?

Consider the sentence: We test whether the underlined string is a constituent by replacing it with a single word, as in: "Lowen bought a scarf [ Select ] there then did so it ". This single word is not just any word, but the term we use to refer to such a word is [ Select ] enclitic pronoun antecedent pro-form This is an example of a [ Select ] Omission Reduction Movement Segment fragment Substitution test. Let's say the resulting [ Select ] paragraph utterance sentence question is grammatical. This gives us evidence that the target string [ Select ] is is not a constituent in original sentence.

Consider the sentence: Applying the Cleft test gives: *It was flowers that my neighbor planted the beautiful over there. Applying the One-substitution test gives: My neighbor planted the beautiful ones over there.   What might the ungrammaticality of the string generated by the application of the cleft test tell us? Choose all that apply.
