    The subject of a sentence is

    • Who or what the sentence is about

    • The verb, or action of the sentence

    • Always plural

    • Always singular

    Correct Answer
    A. Who or what the sentence is about
    Explanation
    The subject of a sentence refers to the person, thing, or idea that the sentence is about. It is the main focus of the sentence and usually performs the action or is being described in the sentence. The subject can be a single entity or a group of entities, so it can be singular or plural depending on the context. Therefore, the correct answer is "who or what the sentence is about."

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Exclamation
    Explanation
    The given sentence "I cannot believe you won that game!" expresses strong emotion and surprise, indicating that it is an exclamation. Exclamatory sentences are used to convey excitement, astonishment, or strong feelings. In this case, the speaker is expressing disbelief and astonishment towards the listener's victory in a game.

    What punctuation goes on at the end of a statement sentence?

    • Colon (:)

    • Quotation Mark (")

    Correct Answer
    A. Period (.)
    Explanation
    A statement sentence is a type of sentence that makes a statement or provides information. It is not a question or an exclamation. The punctuation that goes at the end of a statement sentence is a period. A period is used to indicate the end of a complete thought or sentence. It is the most commonly used punctuation mark and is used to bring a sense of closure to a statement sentence.

    • Adverb

    Correct Answer
    A. Noun
    Explanation

    Correct Answer
    A. All the Above

    • Compound Complex

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    The boy ate the apple.  Identify whether it is subject or predicate?

    • Subject

    • Predicate 

    Correct Answer
    A. Subject
    Explanation
    The given correct answer is "Subject". In a sentence, the subject is the noun or pronoun that performs the action or is being described. In this case, "The boy" is the subject because it is the noun that is performing the action of eating the apple.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Which of the following name parts of speech?

    • Adjectives

    • Adverbs

    • Subjects

    • Dogs 

    • Prepositions 

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Adjectives
    A. Adverbs
    A. Prepositions 
    Explanation
    Every word we use belongs to one of eight word groups or "parts of speech." (This question only lists three: adjectives, adverbs, and prepositions.) Subjects are not parts of speech and neither are dogs. I'm guessing that you knew that already though. :)
