In the English language, noun phrases often consist of a head noun preceded by a specific sequence of modifiers (determiners,adjectives, etc.). Analyze the underlined nominal structure in the sentence below:“The aviation authority is looking for several highly talented young candidates to fill the vacancies.” Regarding the internal structure of the underlined noun phrase, which statement is grammatically and functionally CORRECT?
- AThe nominal structure is considered a “compound noun” because the words highly, talented, and young have fused semanticallywith candidates to form a single unbreakable lexical unit.
- BThe word highly functions as the central adjective of the phrase, while talented acts as a post-modifier that characterizes thephysical state of the candidates.
- CThe quantifier several functions as the head of the nominal group, making the word candidates a dependent complement of thedeterminer.
- DThe sequence of adjectives highly talented young represents a coordinate structure, meaning their positions could be freelyswapped (e.g., young highly talented) without any impact on grammatical naturalness.
- EThe structure follows the standard order of modifiers where a determiner (several) precedes an adverb-adjective sub-modifierphrase (highly talented) and a classifying/age adjective (young), all modifying the head noun candidates.
