Identify the Assertive sentence:

The correct answer is Option (3) → The new library in our town does not open on Tuesdays or on public holidays.

Assertive sentence:

• An assertive sentence states a fact or an opinion. It ends with a full stop.
• This sentence states a fact about the library. It has “does not”, but a negative statement is still assertive.

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 1: Do not keep library books for more than two weeks. — Incorrect. It begins with “Do not” and the subject “you” is not written. It gives an order, so it is an imperative sentence.

Option 2: Why does the school van always come late on Mondays? — Incorrect. It asks a question, so it is an interrogative sentence.

Option 4: May the new footbridge at the station serve people for many years! — Incorrect. It begins with “May” and makes a wish, so it is an optative sentence.
