Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. When and how to speak
1. Communicative competence includes grammatical knowledge.
2. It reconceives that knowledge as a functional, social understanding.
3. This is an understanding of how and when to use utterances appropriately.
4. Spelling, memorised rules and word-list recall are not the added element.
**Why not the others:** Spelling words, memorised rules and word-list recall do not add appropriate use in social situations.
