Which of the following sentences uses the indicative mood?

Attend the briefing
I wish to go
She is enjoying the game
Please finish your homework

The correct answer is: She is enjoying the game

The indicative mood is used to make factual statements, ask questions, or express opinions that can be verified. The sentence "She is enjoying the game" demonstrates the indicative mood because it states a fact about someone's current enjoyment. It provides clear information that can be observed or confirmed, which is a defining characteristic of the indicative mood. In contrast, the other options utilize different moods. For instance, "Attend the briefing" is a command, reflecting the imperative mood rather than stating a fact. "I wish to go" expresses a desire and uses the subjunctive mood, indicating a wish or situation that is not currently reality. "Please finish your homework" is also imperative, as it is instructing someone to complete a task. Thus, only the sentence describing enjoyment qualifies as indicative.
