   Read this story. Underline the imperative and exclamatory sentences in it.

   Rekha was alone at home. She was reading a very interesting book. Suddenly, the lights went out. Before she could get up, a very rough voice said, "Hands up! Don't move! Remove your chain. Don't waste time"

   Rekha wanted to ask, "How can I remove my chain when my hands are up?" But before she could ask, she felt a gun on her back. "Give me the keys to the safe. Come on! Hurry up!"

   Now, Rekha was beginning to shake. Then, she heard another voice say, "Stop! Thief! Drop your gun. Kneel down. Put your hands up!" The lights came on. Rekha was surprised to see her brother kneeling, with his hands up, and her uncle standing behind him. Rekha burst into laughter. Her brother had only been playing with her using his toy gun.
