discussion, for the following sentences.  Be sure to include complete discussion
of your reasoning about the lexical subcategorizations, the proposed deep
structures, and the transformational operations involved in the derivation of
these sentences.  In particular, for every verb in these sentences, make sure
you know whether it is a raising or a control verb (and also what kind it is),
and can show why you think that.
