Answer:

Hello! My name is Benjamin, and I'm your new neighbor.

Step-by-step explanation:

An interjection is a short exclamation that expresses emotion and typically has no real gramattical value- for example,

Whew, Um, and Ouch!

Interjections are used mostly in speaking and rarely in formal writing, but they can be useful in emphasizing the sentiment you're trying to express.

Examples of some other interjections:

  • Awww
  • Cheers
  • Nah
  • Ha
  • Doh
  • Pow
  • Uh-huh
  • Uh-oh
  • Wow
  • Yay
  • Yippee
  • Yo

In the sentence, "Hello! My name is Benjamin, and i'm your new neighbor." The interjection would be "Hello!" as it acts as the short exclamation expressing the emotion of a greeting. In the actual context of the sentence, the character Benjamin has the energy of greeting.

Therefore, the answer is option A.
