Choose the correct Exclamatory sentence for the following Assertive one:
The football team has won the match.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Hurray! The football team has won the match.
Assertive to exclamatory with an interjection:
An exclamatory sentence expresses strong feeling and ends with an exclamation mark.
| Change | Assertive | Exclamatory | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interjection | – | Hurray! | The team's win is happy news. Where the feeling is joy at good news, an interjection of joy such as “Hurray!” or “Hurrah!” is placed before the statement, and the statement itself is kept as it is. |
| Full sentence | The football team has won the match. | Hurray! The football team has won the match. |
Example: We have got a holiday tomorrow. → Hurray, we have got a holiday tomorrow!
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: What? Football won the match! — Incorrect. "What?" shows surprise or disbelief, not joy, and "football" (the game) cannot win a match. The team does.
Option 3: Football match is won. — Incorrect. It is a passive statement, with no exclamation, and it drops the winner.
Option 4: How did the football team win the match? — Incorrect. It is a question (interrogative sentence), not an exclamation.
