Quiz questions misleading

I got both quiz questions for this wrong because they were questions. There were no questions marks so one would assume that they were statements rather than questions - Lisez-vous ce livre is different to lisez-vous ce livre?

Bonjour Chanel,

Yes, "Lisez-vous ce livre" is only possible as an inverted question. Hence the instruction for this test question to choose the correct punctuation:  ! | . | ? | ...

Lisez-vous ce livre ? = Are you reading this book?

Attention: Don't confuse the inverted question with L'Impératif

Lisez ce livreRead this book 

Take a look at the link below which is about a similar question:

Subject verb inversion

take a look at this lesson too:

Me becomes moi in affirmative commands in the imperative mood (L'Impératif) in French

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
