To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the different types of sentences and their functions:

1. Declarative Sentences: These sentences make statements or provide information. They end with a period (.) Examples: "Sam is going to sleep early tonight." "I am hungry."

2. Imperative Sentences: These sentences give commands or requests. They often begin with a verb and end with a period (.) or an exclamation mark (!) in some cases. Examples: "Go to bed early." "Please close the door."

3. Exclamatory Sentences: These sentences express strong emotions or excitement. They end with an exclamation mark (!). Examples: "What a beautiful day!" "I can't believe it!"

4. Interrogative Sentences: These sentences ask questions. They end with a question mark (?). Examples: "Is Sam going to sleep early tonight?" "What time is it?"

In your case, the sentence "Is Sam going to sleep early tonight?" is asking a question, so it falls under the category of an interrogative sentence. Therefore, the correct answer would be interrogative.
