Question 9 • FL-1001370-English 3 A

Review the following sentence. “Today we will discuss poetry.” Which statement is true?

Answer
A
If the mood were imperative, Mrs. Lopez would be ordering the students to discuss poetry.
B
If the mood were revised to subjunctive, Mrs. Lopez would be asking if the students were going to discuss poetry today.
C
If the mood were revised to indicative, Mrs. Lopez would be saying that the students would be discussing poetry today, even though she knew it wasn’t true.
D
If the mood were revised to imperative, Mrs. Lopez would be noting that the students had discussed poetry in the past.

Explanation

The sentence “Today we will discuss poetry” is a statement about what will happen, so it uses the indicative mood. The imperative mood gives a command; revised that way, Mrs. Lopez would be ordering the students to discuss poetry. Asking a question is not the subjunctive mood, and the imperative does not indicate a past event.
