Early direct-method lessons teach mainly:
AFormal grammar rules
BEveryday words and sentences
CLiterary prose passages
DWritten composition
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Everyday words and sentences
1. Only everyday vocabulary and sentences are taught in the initial phase.
2. Grammar, reading and writing are introduced in the intermediate phase.
3. So early lessons are oral and practical.
4. Rules, literary prose and composition come later.
**Why not the others:** Formal rules, literary passages and composition belong to later phases of the method, not the first.
