The correct Answer is:
To determine which option is not a statement, we need to analyze each of the given sentences. A statement is a declarative sentence that is either true or false, but not both. 1. **Option (a): The sun is a star.** - This is a factual statement. It can be verified and is true. Therefore, it is a statement. 2. **Option (b): 8 is less than 5.** - This is also a factual statement. However, it is false because 8 is not less than 5. Regardless of its truth value, it is still a statement. 3. **Option (c): Mathematics is fun.** - This sentence expresses a personal opinion or subjective belief. It cannot be universally classified as true or false because it depends on individual perspectives. Therefore, it is not a statement. 4. **Option (d): The moon is a heavenly body.** - This is a factual statement. It can be verified and is true. Therefore, it is a statement. After analyzing all the options, we conclude that the sentence that is not a statement is: **Final Answer: (c) Mathematics is fun.**
