Answer 1

Hint: An imperative sentence is a type of sentence that expresses a direction, command, order or gives advice, suggestions or make requests. It is directive in nature. Example: Stop! That is a no parking spot. We will look for an option that expresses such expressions.

Complete answer:
Let us analyse each option individually in detail to figure out the correct option with the help of the above stated hint.
I want to be a writer: This sentence is a statement or a declaration. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

Don’t wait for me: This sentence is a command. Therefore, this is an imperative sentence. This is the correct option.

Are you alright?: This sentence is in a form of question. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

I think she’ll be fine: This sentence is an opinion. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

Hence, the correct answer is option ‘B’.

Note: Imperative sentences end with an exclamation mark or period depending upon its delivery.
