1. The words "I'm hungry" are the locutionary act. 2. The implied request for food is the illocutionary act. 3. Perlocutionary acts centre on the listener. 4.

So the sandwich is the perlocutionary act, the effect on the listener. **Why the other options fail:** - The locutionary act is only the words spoken. - The illocutionary act is the speaker's implied request. - A performative act is an utterance that itself performs an action, which "I'm hungry" does not. _Source: Wikipedia, "Speech act", section "Perlocutionary acts" (revision 1377995517)_
