Final Answer:
The given statement "False" because The sentence "How are you?" does not require the uncontractible copula BE for grammatical correctness, making the statement false.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sentence "How are you?" does not contain an obligatory context for the uncontractible copula BE. In English, the use of "are" in this sentence is not mandatory for grammatical correctness.
The question "How are you?" is commonly used in everyday conversation, and the absence of "are" does not affect its grammatical structure or meaning.
In English, questions about states of being, feelings, or conditions often omit the copula "to be" without compromising grammatical integrity. In this case, "How you?" is a valid and commonly understood alternative.
The uncontractible copula BE becomes obligatory in sentences where it serves a structural role, such as in affirmative or negative statements (e.g., "I am happy" or "They are not here").
However, in interrogative sentences like "How are you?" the copula is optional, making the statement false.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B
