9 WH Clauses Assignments

The document provides examples of sentences with different wh-fronting structures in two sets. Set I contains sentences with single wh-fronting questions. Set II contains more complex examples with multiple wh-frontings, including sentences with subordinate clauses like (15) and (16), and a sentence with two separate wh-frontings like (17). The examples illustrate different structures for forming wh-fronted questions in English through movement of questioned elements to the front of clauses.
