Question

Oh that I was a child again! [Advanced]

• A. Am I a child again?

Answer 1

The correct option is B I wish I were a child again.

An assertive sentence, also called a declarative sentence, makes a statement.

An interrogative sentence is one whose grammatical form shows that it is a question and ends with a question mark (?)

An exclamatory sentence (or exclamation) is a more forceful version of a declarative statement, which also conveys an emotion or excitement. It ends with an exclamation mark (!).

Options A and C are incorrect as they are interrogative sentences.

Option B is correct as it is an assertive sentence.

Option D is incorrect as it is an exclamatory sentence.
