Let's solve this step by step. The task is to identify the
type of sentence used in each line of the conversation between Chad and Andrea. We'll use the following code:
-
D = Declarative – a statement that gives information.
-
Intg = Interrogative – a question.
-
E = Exclamatory – expresses strong emotion or excitement.
-
Imp = Imperative – a command or request.
We’ll go through each sentence one by one and determine its type.

1. Chad: I'm bored.
- This is a statement expressing a feeling.
✔ D (Declarative)

2. What should we do?
- This is a question asking for suggestions.

3. Andrea: Hey... I have a great idea!! Let's have a lemonade stand!
- "Hey..." – informal greeting, but not a full sentence; likely part of an exclamatory tone.

Both parts are expressive and emotional.
