   1. The cooks spoiled the broth.
   2. The experiment succeeded.
   3. Roosters crow.
3. Based on the discussion of transformations in your text, including the relationship between deep (d-)structure and surface (s-)structure and the issue of structural dependency, write down the "d-structure" of each of the following sentences:
