Assertive sentence

• In the given question we have to put appropriate punctuation marks and state the kind of sentence they are.
• In the first and second sentences, the correct punctuation mark is a full stop (.)
• The sentence which gives the complete information or has expressed a complete idea, such sentences are marked with a full stop or period at the end.
• Both the sentences are assertive.
• Assertive sentences are those sentences that state a fact.
• The first sentence asserts or declares the time at which the concert will begin. Hence it is an assertive sentence.
• The second sentence gives information about a country celebrating its independence on a particular date. Hence, this sentence is also assertive.
• Assertive sentences are also called declarative sentences and usually end with a full stop or period.

Hence the correct punctuation mark is a full stop(.) placed at the end of sentences 1 and sentence 2 and both the sentences are assertive.
