alleryCautious advice on a colloquial form may harden into what?
AA ban applying in every context
BA rule for casual speech only
CA reward for creative writing
DA tip for poetry only
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. A ban applying in every context
1. Careful advice labels a form colloquial and suggests caution in some contexts.
2. In the classroom it may become a ruling that the form is unacceptable in all circumstances.
3. Academic linguists reject that absolute view; the other options misstate the hardening.
