Discussion
Identify the type of the following sentence.
"What madness seizes you ...!"
Answer: C
The sentence is exclamatory.
It begins with What followed by a noun phrase and ends with an exclamation mark, and it expresses strong feeling, here exasperation, rather than asking for information.
It is not interrogative, because it does not ask a question and has no question mark, even though it starts with 'What'. A declarative sentence simply states a fact, and an optative sentence expresses a wish or prayer, such as 'May you live long!'
