Example Question #11 : Reading: Foundational Skills

What is missing from the sentence below? 

Sara is my friend

Possible Answers:

A question mark

A period

A capital letter at the beginning of the sentence

Correct answer:

A period

Explanation:

A sentence always needs to begin with a capital letter and end with a punctuation mark: period, exclamation point, or question mark. 

This sentence starts with a capital letter, but it does not have ending punctuation. This sentence is statement, so it is missing a period.
