9. Which of the following terms indicates a question word?

Explanation

The term "interrogative" indicates a question word. It is used to describe words or phrases that are used to ask questions, such as "who," "what," "where," "when," "why," and "how." These words are essential in forming interrogative sentences and seeking information. In contrast, "inversion" refers to a change in word order for emphasis or stylistic purposes, "intonation" refers to the rise and fall of pitch in speech, and "infinitive" refers to the base form of a verb.

10. Quel/Quelle/Quoi

Explanation

The correct answer is "What". In French, "Quel" is used to ask about a specific thing or person from a limited range of options, "Quelle" is used when referring to a feminine noun, and "Quoi" is used to ask about an indirect object or in certain expressions. In this case, "What" is the most appropriate translation for "Quel/Quelle/Quoi" as it is a general question word used to inquire about something.

11. Intonation is the lowering in the pitch of your voice to indicate a question

Explanation

This statement is false. Intonation is not the lowering in pitch of your voice to indicate a question. In fact, intonation refers to the variation in pitch, tone, and stress that we use when speaking to convey meaning and emotion. When asking a question, the pitch of our voice typically rises at the end of the sentence, rather than lowering.

Explanation

The question asks for the option that is NOT one of the four ways to create a French question. The four ways mentioned are intonation, inversion, interrogative, and twins (Est-ce que/Qu'est-ce que). Conjugation, on the other hand, is not a method used to create a French question. Conjugation refers to the changing of verb forms to match the subject of a sentence, and it is not specific to forming questions.
