Answer 1

Classification of the sentences in terms of the expressions-:

(a) Exclamatory sentence

• The sentence contains an exclamation mark(!) at the end and this makes it an exclamatory sentence. Such sentences which are exclamatory generally express strong emotions and here "how well" signifies that one is in the emotion of awe by someone's singing.

(b) Interrogative sentence

• The sentence contains a question mark(?) at the completion of the sentence and this concludes that it is an interrogative sentence. Such sentences express questions being asked and here a question is asked by someone asking somebody their name.

(c) Declarative sentence

• The sentence contains a period or full stop(.) at its end and this makes it a declarative one as such sentences end with a full stop and pass on some sort of information like here the information about a girl being a successful writer is provided.

(d) Imperative sentence

• The given sentence ends with a full stop(.) and expresses a command or an order and this makes it an imperative sentence.

(e) Exclamatory sentence

• The given sentence is an exclamatory sentence as it ends with an exclamation mark(!) and it expresses the strong emotion of a tragedy taking place.

(f) Declarative sentence

• The given sentence ends with a full stop or period(.) and gives information about someone having two sisters and this makes it a declarative sentence.
