Let's go through each sentence and determine the correct punctuation mark to use:
period (.),
question mark (?), or
exclamation mark (!).
---
1. A big lion is roaring in the cage
✔ This is a declarative sentence — it states a fact.
➡️ Correct punctuation:
.
👉 *A big lion is roaring in the cage.*
---
2. I can see a little turtle in the sea
✔ This is also a declarative sentence, stating something observed.
➡️ Correct punctuation:
.
👉 *I can see a little turtle in the sea.*
---
3. Girls love playing with dolls
✔ Another statement of fact.
➡️ Correct punctuation:
.
👉 *Girls love playing with dolls.*
---
4. Look at the peacocks on the tree
✔ This is an imperative sentence (a command or instruction), and it’s meant to draw attention. It has a tone of excitement or urgency.
➡️ Correct punctuation:
!
👉 *Look at the peacocks on the tree!*
---
5. The lovely red rose is on the table
✔ Declarative sentence.
➡️ Correct punctuation:
.
👉 *The lovely red rose is on the table.*
---
6. Oh A sweet chick with a brown hen
⚠️ This sentence starts with "Oh", which shows surprise or emotion. There's also a capital "A" — likely a typo, but we should consider the intended meaning.
It seems like an exclamation expressing delight.
➡️ Correct punctuation:
!
Also, there should be a space after "Oh" — probably a formatting error.
👉 *Oh! A sweet chick with a brown hen!*
But since we're only adding one punctuation mark, and the sentence is incomplete without proper spacing, we assume the intent is to express excitement.
So:
!
👉 *Oh! A sweet chick with a brown hen!*
But if we’re only adding one punctuation mark at the end:
👉 *Oh A sweet chick with a brown hen!* →
!
✔ Final answer:
!
