Answer 1

If the house was any bigger, it would block the sun

Step-by-step explanation:

- A. " I needed my sister to give me peace and quiet for just 15 minutes." the sentence is not a hypothetical want, but it is a desire.

- B. "The ruler ordered the guards to lock the gates." is not hypothetical, since it is in past tense it is not needed anymore.

- C. "If the house was any bigger, it would block out the Sun." this is a hypothetical statement, and using 'if' and 'was' make the statement contrary to fact.

-D." Kay asked that Shana bring dessert for the dinner party." this is a fact.

Answer 2

Answer: D. Kay asked that Shana bring dessert for the dinner party.
