Which correctly identifies the verb and its mood in this sentence? Be careful with that dripping paintbrush.

The verb in this sentence is "be." The mood is imperative.

We can determine the mood is imperative because the speaker is directing someone to "be careful." In other words, the speaker is issuing a command.

Therefore the mood of the verb "be" in this sentence is imperative.

A Mood is used to identify whether a verb expresses a fact, a command, a question, a condition or a wish.
In this case, someone is instructing you to be careful so this is an imperative mood.
