Answer 1

Hint: An interrogative sentence is a sentence which asks a question. It starts with a questioning word and is followed by a verb. Example: How are you ? We will look for an option that follows the same structure of a sentence.

Complete answer:
Let us analyse each option individually in detail to figure out the correct option with the help of the above stated hint.
Why Sue isn’t working today?: In this sentence, the questioning word why is followed by a noun. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

Why Isn’t Sue working today?: In this sentence, the word ‘why’ is followed by a verb. It follows the structure of an interrogative sentence properly. Therefore, this is the correct option.

Why today Sue isn’t working?: In this sentence, the questioning word why is followed by a noun. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

Sue isn’t working today why? In this sentence, the word ‘why’ is placed last in place of the front. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

Hence, the correct answer is option ‘B’.

Note: An interrogative sentence asks a direct question and is then ended with a question mark (?). Example: When is the meeting?
Here, the subject ‘meeting’ comes after the verb ‘is’. Therefore, in such sentences the verb precedes the subject and is always started with a question word (why, when, how, who, whom etc).
