What should I do now , sir?
Will you give me an answer,or will you give me .................
When I put a sentence with my answer that means I follow the rules.That is all needed.

 

[emsr2d2]

What you should do is answer the question "Is this homework?"

 

[ali7772016]

Why should I answer such a question?
I wrote...I saw this strange sentence.....................
Isn't it enough?

No.
If you saw a strange sentence, it wouldn't come looking like a multiple choice question on a test or on homework.

We will not knowingly help with homework. If you submit a test or paper, and your teacher marks your answer as incorrect, and you aren't sure why, THEN you can ask about it.
