Jack and jill went up the hill.

A full stop should be placed at the end of the sentence. So, 'What a beautiful day.' is the correct option.

The word 'I' should always be capitalised, no matter where it is in the sentence.

10 .
Which of these is a complete sentence?

A complete sentence needs to have a subject (who or what the sentence is about) and a predicate (what's happening). 'The cat is sleeping on the sofa.' is a complete sentence.
