Problem
If someone were interested in deconstructing a statement such as "The dog is sleeping on the couch," which would be MOST beneficial?
i. Envision their own dog lying on a couch with its eyes closed
ii. Call a friend who owns a dog to describe how it sleeps on the couch
iii. Create an equation with the nouns and verbs as variables in the sentence
iv. Attempt to understand the connection between words by diagramming the sentence
