Question 16 ప్రశ్న 16

C English is important because its grammar is naturally more logical than the grammar of other languages. D English should be valued only when learners stop using their home languages.

A Rely only on rules remembered from old school notes, even when current reliable references disagree. B Assume that every difference from one preferred variety is an error. C Avoid teaching standard conventions because all forms are interchangeable in every context.
