Question: Given the following grammar G , please determine if it is ambiguous or not. If it is , please provide an example illustrating its ambiguity

Given the following grammar G, please determine if it is ambiguous or not. If it is, please
provide an example illustrating its ambiguity and rewrite it to make it unambiguous. If this
cannot be done, please say so. Otherwise, if it is not ambiguous, please state clearly that it is not.
Question 2
Utilizing the grammar from the end of Question 1, please determine if the grammar contains any
left-recursion. If it does, please remove it. If it does not, please state clearly that it does not.
Question 3
Left-factorization is a grammar transformation technique that can help better prepare a grammar
for recognition by a predictive parser. When faced with a choice between two different
A-productions, it may not be possible to determine which production to utilize.
If A1|2 are two A -productions, and the input begins with a nonempty string derived
from , we may not know which production to utilize. By introducing a new nonterminal into the
grammar, we may delay the decision until more of the input has been seen, allowing us to make
the correct choice.
Here, we introduce A' and reformulate the productions to become
AA'
A'1|2
In general, the procedure for doing this is as follows:
For each nonterminal A, find the longest prefix common to two or
more of its alternatives. If , replace all A-productions of the form
A1|2|dots||
where represents all alternatives that do not begin with , with
AA'|
A'1|2|dots|
Apply this transformation until no two alternatives for a nonterminal have
a common prefix.
Utilizing the grammar from the end of Question 2, please left-factor it.
Question 4
While we will discuss further the nature and generation of First and Follow sets, practice now
makes perfect later Utilizing the grammar from the end of
Question 3, please generate the First and Follow sets for each grammar symbol and nonterminal,
respectively. That is, please generate the First sets for the grammar symbols of G and the Follow
sets for the nonterminals of G.
Given the following grammar G , please determine
