Which sentence type is used to state a fact and ends with a period?

• A. Declarative Sentence
• B. Interrogative Sentence
• C. Exclamatory Sentence
• D. Imperative Sentence

Answer: (A)

Stating information plainly and finishing with a period is the role of a declarative sentence. Declaratives convey facts or descriptions without asking questions, giving directions, or showing strong emotion. That straightforward, factual quality is what makes them end with a period. In contrast, questions use a question mark, exclamations end with an exclamation point, and commands (imperatives) usually end with a period unless the speaker wants extra emphasis. So a sentence that states a fact and ends with a period best fits the declarative type.
