Question 1:
Choose the sentence with the right word order A. Is what the name of this street?
B. The name of this street is what?
C. What is the name of this street?
Feedback In the test sentence ‘What is the name of this street?’ we are given a wh-question, because it contains the question word ‘what’ that is used to request information about something (here, the name of the street).The word order in ‘wh-questions’ is similar to ‘Yes/No questions’, but in ‘wh-questions’ question words ‘when’, ‘what’, ‘who’, ‘whose’, ‘where’, ‘how’, ‘which’, ‘why’ are put at the beginning of the sentences: wh-+ an auxiliary verb (be, do/does or have) + subject + main verb OR wh- + a modal verb+ subject + main verb: What have you been doing without us all this time?Therefore, we are to choose ANSWER 3: What (the question word) is (the auxiliary verb) the name of the street (the subject expressed by the noun phrase: the noun ‘name’ with the modifier ‘of the street’ that provides additional information about the word ‘name’).
D. What the name of this street is?
