Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The predicate in a sentence is the part that tells what the subject is doing or what is being done to the subject. In this sentence, 'built a sandcastle' is the predicate as it is the action performed by the subject 'children.' 'On the beach' is a prepositional phrase that provides additional information but is not the predicate.
Choice C 'children' is the subject of the sentence, and choice D 'the' is an article referring to 'children,' making them incorrect choices for the predicate.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The sentence 'The presentation was informative and engaging' conveys a neutral tone because it provides a factual description of the presentation without any hints of sarcasm, anger, or confusion. The use of 'informative and engaging' indicates a positive evaluation but does not express any emotional bias or negativity, qualifying it as a neutral statement.
Choice A, 'Sarcastic,' is incorrect because there are no indications of mockery or insincerity in the sentence.
Choice C, 'Angry,' is incorrect as there are no elements of displeasure or hostility.
Choice D, 'Confused,' is incorrect since the sentence does not suggest any confusion or lack of understanding.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In this context, 'study' is a verb, not a noun. 'Studied' is the past tense form of the verb 'study.' The plural form of a verb does not exist in the same way as it does for nouns. 'Studied' is the correct form for the past tense of 'study,' not a plural form. 'Studies' (choice
A) is the third-person singular present tense form of 'study,' 'studying' (choice
B) is the present participle form, and 'studier' (choice
D) is not a correct form related to the verb 'study.'
Therefore, 'studied' is the most appropriate choice here.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, 'ouch'. Interjections are words or phrases used to express strong emotions or sudden feelings. In this sentence, 'ouch' expresses pain, making it an interjection in the given context.

Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not represent interjections. 'Table' and 'leg' are nouns, while 'stubbed' is a past tense verb, none of which serve as interjections in this sentence.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The sentence 'Wow, what a beautiful sunset!' expresses strong emotion ('Wow') and conveys an exclamation, indicating that it is an exclamatory sentence. Exclamatory sentences are used to show strong feelings or emotions and typically end with an exclamation mark.
Choice A, 'Interrogative sentence,' is incorrect because interrogative sentences ask questions, which this sentence does not.
Choice B, 'Declarative sentence,' is incorrect because declarative sentences make statements or convey information, which is not the case here.
Choice D, 'Imperative sentence,' is incorrect because imperative sentences give commands or instructions, which are not present in the given sentence.
