Sixth Grade Writing Assessment

An exclamatory sentence is a type of sentence that expresses strong emotions, urgency, or surprise. It is used to convey excitement, astonishment, or any intense feeling. These sentences usually end with an exclamation mark to emphasize the emotion being expressed. They are different from interrogative sentences, which ask questions, and from simple sentences, which consist of only one independent clause. Exclamatory sentences can be identified by the tone and punctuation used, as they are designed to make a strong impact on the reader or listener.

The correct answer is "He is wearing his baseball uniform. He is holding his baseball bat." This answer contains two simple, individual sentences that each express a complete thought. The other options either combine the two sentences into one or include additional information that makes them more complex sentences.

This sentence is an imperative sentence because it is giving a command or instruction. It is telling someone to "walk up the steps and then turn left."

The correct subject is "Elsa" and the correct predicate is "liked baking cookies."

The correct answer is ".... the basketball through the hoop!" because it is a command or a request that is telling someone to perform a specific action. Imperative sentences are used to give orders, make requests, or give instructions, and this example clearly fits that criteria.
