Which term is used for a basic statement that provides information?

• A. Declarative Statement
• B. Noun Phrase
• C. Prefix
• D. Suffix

Answer: (A)

A basic statement that provides information is described as a declarative statement. This type of sentence conveys a fact or idea and typically ends with a period. It states something plainly, without asking a question or giving a command or exclamation. For example, "The Earth orbits the Sun" is a declarative statement because it simply asserts information.

A noun phrase, like "the bright red car," is a group of words centered around a noun but it isn’t a complete sentence on its own. Prefixes and suffixes are word parts added to a base word to change meaning or function; they don’t express information by themselves.
