Answer: The answer is C: The way writers arrange words and punctuation to create sentences

Explanation: The reason it is C because the definition of the word is "the arrangement of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences in a language." according to the dictionary.

I actually have no idea, this is very vague: Referring to a dictionary when you are unsure of a word's meaning (A)

Diction: The careful and purposeful choice of words to reach a desired effect (B)

Context Clues: Using a clue in a sentence to determine the meaning of a word (D)

Final answer: C
