Answer 1

Hint: Notice that an exclamation mark is used in the given sentence. When an exclamation mark is there in a sentence, it is probably showing emotion of excitement or shock.

Complete answer:

A strong disappointment is being conveyed in the above sentence, which is followed by an exclamation mark, as well.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct answer :
Option ‘a' is Interrogative. An interrogative sentence is a sentence that asks a question and is followed by a question mark(?). It allows you to gather information and clear up confusion as well as engage in interesting conversations with others. For example: What is your name?
Option ‘b’ is Exclamatory. An exclamatory sentence makes a statement that conveys a strong emotion or excitement, which is followed by an exclamation mark(!). For example I have got the tickets!
Option ‘c’ is Declarative. These are simply statements that relay information. They are the most common type of sentences in the English language. It states the facts or opinions and lets the reader know something specific. It always ends with a period. For example My dog is sick.
Option ‘d’ is Imperative. The imperative mood is a grammatical mood that forms a command or request of a verb used in the imperative mood in the English phrase. This type of sentence always takes the second person(you) for the subject but most of the time the subject remains hidden. For example: Bring me a glass of water.
As we have analyzed all the given options carefully, we can easily figure out the answer. The given sentence is an exclamatory sentence. Hence, option ‘b’ is the correct answer.

Note: An exclamatory sentence is a more forceful version of a declarative sentence. It makes a declarative statement, but with more excitement or emotions.
