IV. Identify the type of sentences underlined.

“Pray don’t trouble yourself to say it any longer than that”, said Alice.

Oh, don’t talk about trouble!”  said the Duchess. “I make you a present of everything I’ve said as yet.”

“A cheap sort of present!” thought Alice. “I’m glad they don’t give birthday presents like that!” But she did not venture to say it out loud.

“Thinking again?”  the Duchess asked, with another dig of her sharp little chin.

 

“They’re putting down their names,”  the Gryphon whispered in reply, “for fear they should forget them before the end of the trial.”

“Stupid things!”  Alice began in a loud indignant voice, but she stopped herself hastily, for the White Rabbit cried out, “Silence in the Court!” and the King put on his spectacles and looked anxiously round, to make out who was talking.
