The first thought group is a noun phrase, the second is a verb phrase, and the third begins with a particle.

The underlined words are the stressed words in each thought group, and the italicized words are emphasized because they are comparing one with another and "element" is old information at the end of the sentence. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 

2. Through this analysis,  //we will be delving  /into the world  /of engineering mechanics.

 
The first, third, and fourth thought groups are prepositional phrases and the second is a short subject and verb phrase.  There is a longer pause after the adverbial "through this analysis", where the comma would be.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
Here the first thought group is a long noun phrase starting with an adverb; the second is a verb phrase that is separated from the subject so that the subject can be emphasized more because of the pause; the third is another noun phrase; and the fourth is a verb phrase.  There is a longer pause after the second phrase because of the punctuation.

Note here also that "price wars" and "buying power" are both compound nouns and so are stressed on the first element.

5. Although many people believe  / that J.S. Bach  /was a classical composer,  // he was  /in fact, /
a Baroque master.

 
The first thought group in this sentence begins with a subordinator as it's the beginning of a dependent clause, plus it's a short subject/verb phrase.  The second is a relative clause.  The third is a predicate verb phrase.  The independent clause in this sentence is broken up by a parenthetical remark, "in fact," which necessitates pauses surrounding it and is pronounced in a lower tone to show it's a different part of the sentence.  There is a longer pause here between the dependent and independent clauses (where the comma would be).
