Explanation:

Analyze the structure of sentences 1, 2, and 3

• Sentence 1: "[1] Juwan really enjoys baking."
• Subject: "Juwan" (noun)
• Verb: "enjoys" (transitive verb)
• Object: "baking" (gerund acting as direct object)
• Structure: Simple Subject + Verb + Object.

• Sentence 2: "[2] He makes the most delicious plum tarts."
• Subject: "He" (pronoun)
• Verb: "makes" (transitive verb)
• Object: "the most delicious plum tarts" (noun phrase acting as direct object)
• Structure: Simple Subject + Verb + Object.

• Sentence 3: "[3] His tarts always have a perfect flaky crust."
• Subject: "His tarts" (noun phrase)
• Verb: "have" (transitive verb)
• Object: "a perfect flaky crust" (noun phrase acting as direct object)
• Structure: Simple Subject + Verb + Object.

Analyze the structure of sentence 4

• Sentence 4: "[4] Learning how to bake from a master chef in Paris is one of his dreams."
• Subject: "Learning how to bake from a master chef in Paris" (a long gerund phrase acting as the complete subject)
• Verb: "is" (linking verb)
• Subject Complement: "one of his dreams" (noun phrase)
• Structure: Gerund Phrase Subject + Linking Verb + Subject Complement.

Compare structures to identify the outlier

• Sentences 1, 2, and 3 all follow a standard, direct Subject-Verb-Object pattern with simple noun or pronoun subjects.
• Sentence 4 is structured differently because it uses a complex gerund phrase as its subject, followed by a linking verb and a subject complement.
• Therefore, sentence 4 is structured differently than the others.

Answer:

• sentence 1
• sentence 2
• sentence 3
• sentence 4 (Correct answer)
