Verified step by step guidance

Understand the problem: The question is asking about a type of rule that governs language, specifically focusing on a sentence structure that seems incorrect.

Identify the key terms: The options provided are phonetic rules, implicit rules, syntax rules, and morpheme rules. Each of these terms relates to different aspects of language.

Define syntax rules: Syntax rules are the principles that govern the structure of sentences, including the order of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences in a language.

Analyze the sentence: 'They are a student clever' is structured incorrectly according to English syntax rules. The correct order should be 'They are a clever student,' which follows the subject-verb-adjective-noun order.

Conclude the analysis: Since the issue with the sentence is related to the order and structure of words, it violates syntax rules, which are responsible for the correct arrangement of words in a sentence.
