the basic rules that govern language apply to which of the following?
□ how words are placed in a sentence or phrase
□ what words mean
□ how words are pronounced
□ how we decide words are obsolete

Explanation:

The basic language - rules govern syntax (word - placement in sentences/phrases), semantics (word - meanings), and phonology (word - pronunciation). Deciding word obsolescence is more about language evolution and usage trends rather than basic language - rules.

Answer:

how words are placed in a sentence or phrase, what words mean, how words are pronounced
