Here comes the bus __________
Here comes the bus __________
- (?) Question mark
- (.) Full stop
- (:) Colon
- (!) Exclamation mark

Correct answer: D - (!) Exclamation mark
‘Here comes the bus!’ is an exclamatory sentence expressing sudden feeling, so it takes an exclamation mark. It is not a question, a full stop would lose the excitement, and a colon introduces something that follows.
