Choose the correct option to change the given Assertive sentence to an exclamatory sentence:

It was extremely mean of him to desert you in your time of need.

Fie! How mean of him to have deserted you in your time of need!

The correct answer is Option (2) - Fie! How mean of him to have deserted you in your time of need!

Explanation:

• The given sentence “It was extremely mean of him to desert you in your time of need.” expresses strong emotion or disgust — a key marker of exclamatory sentences.

• The interjection “Fie!” is used to express shame, disapproval, or disgust, perfectly matching the tone of the sentence.

• The exclamatory form emphasizes emotion by beginning with an interjection and using “How” to stress the adjective (mean).

Correct Exclamatory Form:
Fie! How mean of him to have deserted you in your time of need!

Why others are incorrect:

1. If only, he were not mean in your time of need! → Expresses regret, not disgust.

2. Oh! He meanly deserted you in your time of needy. → Grammatically wrong; “needy” cannot replace “need.”

3. See he deserted you at a wrong time! →  Conversational and informal; not expressing the same strong emotion of disgust.
