Explanation

A simple sentence contains a subject and a verb, and it may also have an object and modifiers.

However, it contains only one independent clause.

 'he confessed his crime/guilt' which involves a single subject and predicate yet conveys complete sense is a simple sentence

Explanation

A complete sentence requires a subject and a verb, which "She eats breakfast" has.

Explanation

He is quite satisfied with the remarks of his commissioner.

وہ اپنے کمشنر کے ریمارکس سے کافی مطمئن ہیں۔

"Quite" means fully or to a certain extent, which fits the context of being satisfied.

It indicates the degree of satisfaction in the sentence.

Explanation

"Whom" is the correct word to use as an object.

It follows the preposition "to."

This makes "To whom it may concern" the proper and formal phrase.

Explanation

She wants to buy a car is the sentence that uses the article correctly.

"A" is used before singular, non-specific nouns that begin with a consonant sound.

Explanation

 The cat's toys are in the corner is the correct use of the apostrophe in possessives

possessive noun is singular, add the apostrophe -s. e.g., cat’s toys

the possessive noun is plural and ends with an -s, just add an apostrophe. e.g., cats’ toys

.Note: 

In JUMS key option C is correct  "The cats' toys are in the corner" 

 But According to our view options B & C both are correct

Explanation

Its a beautiful day outside

The word "Its" should be "It's", a contraction of "It is".

"Its" (without an apostrophe) is a possessive pronoun, not a contraction.

Correct Version: It’s a beautiful day outside

Explanation

The primary focus of Phrase Structure Rules in grammar is syntactic structure. 

Phrase Structure Rules (PSRs) define how phrases and sentences are constructed by specifying how words and phrases can be combined to form larger units like noun phrases, verb phrases, and entire sentences.

They essentially govern the hierarchical structure of a sentence, outlining the grammatical relationships between different components.
