Question

Choose the type of sentence NOT seen in the passage given below:

We shifted back to our home today. Can you guess how long it took to move back here? It took three months to re-decorate it. How I loathe the smell of fresh paint! It doesn't matter, though, because we'll get used to it soon, and in no time will we feel at home again.

• A. Declarative Sentence
• B. Imperative Sentence
• C. Exclamatory Sentence
• D. Interrogative Sentence

Answer 1

The correct option is B Imperative Sentence

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.
In the given passage, three types of sentences are mentioned, declarative "We shifted... today", interrogative "Can you guess ...back here?" and exclamatory "How I loathe... fresh paint!"
The type that is missing is imperative, as you see that none of the statements express a command or a request. We need to choose the type that isn't present, hence we choose option B., and A, C and D are incorrect.
