Answer 1

The correct answer is OPTION B: Phrase.

• The most essential linguistic structure units are Phrases, Clauses, and Sentences.
• In practically all languages, they offer structure and meaning.
• A statement's meaning is determined by phrases and clauses.
• A phrase is a combination of meaningful words that do not necessarily make sense when spoken together.
• Accepting it without more information is pointless.
• However, a phrase emerges as a structural element within a sentence.
