Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The sentence 'Wow, what a beautiful sunset!' is an exclamatory sentence because it expresses strong emotion or excitement. It conveys the speaker's amazement at the beauty of the sunset. Exclamatory sentences typically end with an exclamation mark and are used to show feelings. Rationale: 1. The presence of the exclamation mark indicates strong emotion. 2. The word 'Wow' is an interjection expressing surprise or admiration. 3. The sentence is not a question (interrogative), statement (declarative), or command (imperative). Summary: - A (Interrogative sentence): Not correct as there is no question being asked. - B (Declarative sentence): Not correct as it does not make a statement or provide information. - D (Imperative sentence): Not correct as it does not give a command or instruction.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct pronoun to replace "Sarah and me" in the sentence is "us." This is because "us" is the objective form of the pronoun, which is needed in this context. In the sentence, Jessica is the subject performing the action of inviting, so the pronoun should be in the objective case. The pronoun "we" is in the subjective case and does not fit the sentence structure. "Ours" is a possessive pronoun and does not work as a replacement here. "Myself" is a reflexive pronoun and is not appropriate in this context. Therefore, "us" is the correct choice.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: the. In the sentence, "the" is an article that precedes the noun "cake." Articles are used to specify or identify nouns. In this case, "the" specifies which cake is being referred to - the delicious cake. The other choices (A: cake, B: was, D: enjoyed) do not function as articles in the sentence and do not serve the purpose of specifying or identifying the noun. The article "the" is essential in providing clarity and specificity to the noun it precedes, making it the correct choice in this context.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because it uses a semicolon to correctly join two independent clauses. A comma splice is when two independent clauses are incorrectly joined by a comma without a coordinating conjunction or proper punctuation. In choice C, "The movie was entertaining" and "it was also thought-provoking" are both independent clauses, so a semicolon is the appropriate punctuation to separate them. Choices A, B, and D all contain comma splices as they join independent clauses with commas, making them incorrect.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: "ouch." An interjection is a word or phrase used to express strong emotion or sudden feeling. In this sentence, "ouch" is used to convey pain, making it the interjection. The other choices, A, B, and D, do not serve the same purpose and are not interjections. "Table" and "leg" are nouns, while "stubbed" is a verb. Therefore, "ouch" is the correct interjection in the sentence.
