Question

• A. How old is your grandmother?
• B. What a lovely day it is!
• C. I have washed the dishes and put them away.
• D. None of the above
  

Answer 1

The correct option is C I have washed the dishes and put them away.

Sentences are mainly divided into four types: declarative, imperative, interrogative and exclamatory. Declarative sentences merely declare or state something, imperative sentences express a command, an order or a request, interrogative sentences intend to ask a question and exclamatory sentences display extreme or sudden emotion. The sentence in option C declares an action, hence it's a declarative sentence and C is correct. A intends to ask a question and B expresses a sudden emotion. Hence they are not declarative, so A and B are incorrect. Option D is incorrect because the correct option lies in C.
