Here is my analysis of sentence (d):
The verb "appeared" belongs to both the intransitive and transitive sub-categories. In this sentence, it has an intransitive sense of "seemed" or "was in".
The prepositional phrase "in a dangerous mood" functions as an adjunct adverbial indicating manner.
So the analysis is:
S V
aA
Hieronimo appeared in a dangerous mood.
The sentence is not ambiguous. "Appeared" has an intransitive sense of "seemed" or "was in" in this context.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

3. 3. ADVERBIALS AND OTHER MATTERS
• Adjunct adverbials (VP adverbials)
When a constituent functions within a VP as the
PPs in [1] and [2] are functioning, it is said to
function as an ADJUNCT ADVERBIAL (or simply
ADJUNCT). They are also called VP-adverbials.

• Adjunct adverbials (VP adverbials):
– Manner
– Means
– Purpose
– Reason
– Place
– Time (duration and frequency)
• Answer questions: Where? Why? When? How? What
for? How long? How often? How many times?
6. 3. ADVERBIALS AND OTHER MATTERS
• Adjunct adverbials (VP adverbials):
– PPs & AdvP can function as adjunct adverbials
– Adverbial => Function (Not included in phrase
markers)
– Adverb & Adverb Phrase => Category
– Certain NPs can function as (temporal)
adverbials: last year, yesterday, tomorrow, the
day before yesterday, the day after tomorrow,
this afternoon…
– ADJUNCTS are optional (their occurrence is not
determined by the verb and its sub-category)

9. 3. ADVERBIALS AND OTHER MATTERS
[17] Bevis mended his bike in the garage and Max did so in the garden.
[18] *Bevis put his bike in the garage and Max did so in the garden.
“do so” replaces a Verb Phrase => Pro-VP
Expressions that replace phrases to avoid repeating information are called
PRO-FORMS
Pronouns are pro-forms because they replace NPs.
10. 3. ADVERBIALS AND OTHER MATTERS
Tip from the author of the book: Having drawn the immediate
VP of S (the predicate), always ask yourself: does that VP
include an adjunct adverbial? If it does, then it must have
another VP as one of its constituents. And so on, for every
VP.
12. 3. ADVERBIALS AND OTHER MATTERS
• The mobility of adverbials
– Adverbials can appear in all sorts of positions in
the sentence.
[28] Very surreptitiously, she put it under the bed.
[29] She very surreptitiously put it under the bed.
[30] She put it very surreptitiously under the bed.
[31] She put it under the bed very surreptitiously.
– They can’t come between the V and its direct
object.

14. 3. ADVERBIALS AND OTHER MATTERS
• The mobility of adverbials
She hardly slept last night.
=> Last night, she hardly slept.
15. 3. ADVERBIALS AND OTHER MATTERS
• The mobility of adverbials
– The position of the adverbial can make a
difference to the meaning.
They slowly answered all the questions.
=> They were slow in answering the whole batch of
questions.
They answered all the questions slowly.
=> They answered each individual question slowly.
16. 3. ADVERBIALS AND OTHER MATTERS
• Phrasal verbs
– He called up the street.
– He called up the boss. => transive phrasal verb
17. 3. ADVERBIALS AND OTHER MATTERS
• Phrasal verbs
– A phrasal verb consists of a verb + a particle
– Examples:
TRANS: call off, look up, put down, hand down,
hand over, sound out, drink up.
TRANS and INTRANS: give up, give in, throw up.
(These have different [trans] and [intran] senses.)
PREP: put up (with NP), go along (with NP), run out
(of NP), sign up ( for NP).
INTENS: turn out, end up, wind up.
18. 3. ADVERBIALS AND OTHER MATTERS
• Phrasal verbs
– A defining characteristic of particles is that they can
appear in a position AFTER the direct object NP
He called up the boss. => He called the boss up.
19. 3. ADVERBIALS AND OTHER MATTERS
• Phrasal verbs
– Particle movement provides a reliable test for
distinguishing between [phrasal verb + (direct object) NP]
and [verb + PP]
– The particle can only move over a direct object np. It can’t
move over a PP or a subject-predicative NP
He turned out a brilliant lawyer
NOT He turned a brilliant lawyer out
20. 3. ADVERBIALS AND OTHER MATTERS
• Phrasal verbs
– Now decide, for each of the following VPs, whether it
includes a transitive phrasal verb + NP [1] or a
prepositional verb + PP [2]

(c) hangs about the office (d) handed over the money
(e) viciously turned on John (f) saw through the term

22. 3. ADVERBIALS AND OTHER MATTERS
• Ellipsis
– [41] William gave some bleach to Millie.
– [42] William gave Millie some bleach.
– [43] William gave some bleach. <= No indirect object
The omission from sentences of grammatically obligatory
elements capable of being understood in the context of use
is called ELLIPSIS.
Syntax is concerned with the form of SENTENCES, without
taking into account the effects of UTTERING sentences in a
context.
23. 3. ADVERBIALS AND OTHER MATTERS
• Ellipsis
– William gave some bleach.
E => ellipted element
24. 3. ADVERBIALS AND OTHER MATTERS

[52a] Max can only do the tango rather awkwardly.
[52b] Max can only do the tango, rather awkwardly.
[53a] Helmut interfered between you and me.
[53b] Helmut interfered, between you and me.
Disjunct adverbials
28. 3. ADVERBIALS AND OTHER MATTERS
• Sentence adverbials (S adverbials)
– DISJUNCT ADVERBIALS provide some comment by the
speaker/writer about what she is reporting or about how
she feels she herself is expressing what she has to say.
– The adverbial doesn’t actually modify anything within the
sentence.
– Much more natural interpretation when the adverbial
occurs at the beginning of the sentence.
[51c] Frankly, Buster admitted everything.
[52c] Rather awkwardly, Max can only do the tango.
[53c] Between you and me, Helmut interfered.
29. 3. ADVERBIALS AND OTHER MATTERS
• Sentence adverbials (S adverbials)
– Instead of modifying some element within the sentence,
the S-adverbial relates to the sentence as a whole,
considered as a unit.
[51a] Buster admitted everything frankly. [51b] Buster admitted everything, frankly.
30. 3. ADVERBIALS AND OTHER MATTERS
• Sentence adverbials (S adverbials)
– CONJUNCT ADVERBIALS indicate what kind of relation
holds between the sentences they modify and the
preceding or following discourse.
=> link distinct and grammatically unconnected sentences
into a coherent and structured discourse.
In short, you are fired.
