Which sentence changes this imperative to an indicative mood?Clean up your room!

Answer
A
Could you please clean your room?
B
If you would clean your room, it would make me happy.
C
I want you to clean up your room.
D
This room is a horrible mess!

Explanation

“Clean up your room!” is an imperative because it directly gives a command. “I want you to clean up your room” is an indicative statement about what the speaker wants, so it changes the sentence to the indicative mood while keeping the same request. Choice A is a question, and choice D is a statement but does not express the command.
