Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A) and (D) only
(A) The canteen does not serve dosas on Mondays. — Correct.
- It states a fact with “does not”, so it is a negative assertive sentence.
(B) Has the cobbler mended my school shoes yet? — Incorrect.
- It asks a question and ends with a question mark, so it is an interrogative sentence.
(C) Never leave your bicycle unlocked outside the station. — Incorrect.
- It gives advice, and the subject “you” is not written, so it is an imperative sentence. “Never” does not make it a statement.
(D) Our neighbour grows chillies and tomatoes on her terrace. — Correct.
- It states a fact and ends with a full stop, so it is an affirmative assertive sentence.
