Question

1. Consider the text below. Which one of these words plant, bean, or seeds is most closely related to the word coffee. In other words, which of these three words are you most likely to see used in the same noun phrase as the word coffee? i.e., each noun phrase is a chunk. Show your computation and/or explain your logic.

Coffee is a brewed beverage with a dark, acidic flavor prepared from the roasted seeds of the coffee plant, colloquially called coffee beans. The beans are found in coffee cherries, which grow on trees cultivated in over 70 countries, primarily in equatorial Latin America, Southeast Asia, South Asia and Africa. The energizing effect of the coffee bean plant is thought to have been discovered in the northeast region of Ethiopia. Coffee berries, which contain the coffee seeds or "beans", are produced by several species of small evergreen bush of the genus Coffea.

2. Consider the case of the misspelled word "sevd". Should this be "severed" or "served" (or maybe something else)?
