IMO E

author can be not sure a sentence she or he has written is grammatical. If she or he wants to check it, author can use grammar book as reference source.

premise 1: Any author who thinks that a sentence is ungrammatical will not write it down in the first place, and thus will have no need to use a grammar book.

premise 2: any author who is sure a sentence she or he has written is grammatical will not feel a need to consult a grammar book.

conclusion:
grammar books are useless as reference sources for authors

hope it helps!

I was confused between b and E, but finally selected B.

Can somebody explain how E is better than B.
