, SECTION A
The Rise of AI and the Fight Against Misinformation: Navigating the Digital Landscape
Question 1
a) The underlined phrase in the title is a noun phrase.
b) The phrase “The Fight Against Misinformation” consists of the following three parts:
Determiner: The
Head noun: Fight
Post-modifier (prepositional phrase): Against misinformation
c) The phrase “of AI” is a prepositional phrase.
Question 2
a) The prepositional phrase “In an era of readily accessible information” is an optional element
because the sentence remains grammatically complete and meaningful without it. It functions as
an adverbial phrase that provides additional contextual information (time and situation) but is not
essential to the core structure of the sentence.
b) The word “its” refers to artificial intelligence (AI).
c) The word “deepfakes” best illustrates the feature of productivity (or creativity) in human
language, as it is a newly created word formed to describe a new concept arising from
technological development.
Question 3
a) The verb “is” is a linking verb (also known as a copular verb).
b) The linking verb “is” connects the subject “One of the most alarming manifestations of AI
misuse” to the subject complement “its role in exacerbating existing societal problems like bullying
and harassment.” It shows that the complement does not describe an action but rather renames or
identifies the subject, explaining what that manifestation consists of. This verb therefore
establishes a relationship of equivalence or definition between the subject and the subject
complement.
