Question

Using the word(s) given in the brackets, form a sentence in the imperative mood that expresses a command:
_______ the rules. (abide)

• A. Abide by the rules.
• B. You should abide by the rules.
• C. Abiding by the rules.
• D. Please abide by the rules.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Abide by the rules.

Option A is correct. The sentence is a command given to abide by the rules and is directed at an implied subject "you".

Options B and C are incorrect as they are not commands. Nor are they in the imperative mood. Option C, in particular, is an incomplete sentence as it lacks a subject.

Options D is incorrect. While it is in the imperative mood, it does not express a command, but a request (Please).
