Choose the correct Exclamatory sentence of the given sentence:
The Night is very beautiful.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → How beautiful is the night!
Assertive to exclamatory (How + adjective):
"The night is very beautiful" expresses a strong feeling through the adjective beautiful, made stronger by "very".
| Change | Assertive | Exclamatory | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opening words | very beautiful | How beautiful | “Very” is replaced by “How”, placed with the adjective at the start: “How beautiful”. |
| Word order | The Night is | How beautiful is the night | The subject and verb follow: “the night is” (the inverted order “is the night” is also used in exclamations). |
| End mark | (.) | (!) | The full stop becomes an exclamation mark. |
| Full sentence | The Night is very beautiful. | How beautiful is the night! |
"What" is used when the adjective is followed by a noun: "What a beautiful night!"
Example: The view is very lovely. → How lovely the view is!
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 2: Night is so beautiful! — Incorrect. It only adds an exclamation mark to a statement and drops "the". There is no exclamatory word.
Option 3: What beautiful night! — Incorrect. With a singular countable noun, "What" needs "a": "What a beautiful night!"
Option 4: Night is too beautiful! — Incorrect. "Too" means more than is right or needed, which changes the meaning. "The" is also dropped.
