alleryHymes said grammar rules would be useless without:
ARules of use
BRules of spelling
CRules of rhyme
DLists of words
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Rules of use
1. Hymes redefined what it means to know a language.
2. Besides structural rules, speakers must use structures appropriately in different situations.
3. He summed this up: rules of use without which the rules of grammar would be useless.
4. So the missing piece is rules of use.
**Why not the others:** Spelling rules, rhyme rules and word lists do not capture appropriate use in different situations.
