The correct answer is B. The verb 'remember' is the imperative verb in this sentence as it commands the hearer to do something. Sentence A is an exclamative. Sentence C is a question or interrogative - it starts with a 'wh' question word. Sentence D is a statement as it expresses a fact.

Answer 2

An example of an imperative sentence is

Please remember to get the dry cleaning.

It is an imperative sentence as it requests for an action to be completed.  

Further Explanation:

In the English language, a sentence is made up of words and phrases. Thus, we can say a group of words that expresses a thought or an idea or expresses an interrogation or exclamation is known as a sentence. Sentences are of four kinds. They are declarative sentences, interrogative sentences, imperative sentences and exclamatory sentences. Each type of sentences is different from one another.  

An imperative sentence is usually the one that states a command, advice or a request. The imperative sentences are usually instructive in nature and demands for action on being advised, commanded or requested. An example of an imperative sentence would be ‘Please clean your cupboard.’ This sentence makes it clear that the statement is directing a certain someone to clean the cupboard. One can easily understand an imperative sentence as the subject is generally not directly mentioned in the statement. It usually consists of a verb that will command for an action to take place. In the above-mentioned sentences, option A states ‘That is absolutely ridiculous!’ which is not an imperative but rather an exclamatory sentence. Option C states ‘What time will Stephanie want to leave do?’ which clearly an interrogative sentence and is indicated by the question mark at the end of the sentence. Option D states ‘Shannon has finished all her homework.’ which is a declarative sentence indicating that the action is completed. Thus, option B which states ‘Please remember to get the dry cleaning.’ is an imperative sentence since it requests for an action to be completed with the use of the word ‘Please’ in the beginning.
