Solution

The correct option is A To join two sentences.
We have to choose the option that does not describe the function of a sentence.
Interrogative sentences ask a question, 'What are you doing right now?'
Exclamatory sentences exclaim or express sudden emotions like "Hurrah! We won.
Declarative or Assertive sentences declare or state something, 'I received a job today.'
Hence these are the functions of a sentence, and B, C and D are incorrect.
We choose option A because this is not the function of a sentence. Conjunctions join two or more sentences, a sentence itself cannot do that.

Emotions can be combined to form different feelings, much like colors can be mixed to create other shades. According to this theory, the more basic emotions act something like building blocks.
