3. On each tree state one example of each structural relation we have discussed: Domination, exhaustive, immediate, precedence, .. (Structural relations chapter)
4. Draw two trees of ONE ambiguous sentence if you have one in the text. If not search for one from outside your text.

7. Show one example of the binding theory (anaphor or pronoun,) on only ONE sentence.
