What a great honour it is to be talking to you!

Correct Answer:

What a great honour it is to be talking to you!

Explanation:


The most appropriate conversion of the assertive sentence "It is a great honour to be talking to you" to an exclamatory sentence is What a great honour it is to be talking to you!

When changing an assertive sentence to an exclamatory sentence, we need to add emotion and emphasis. We can do this by adding an exclamation point, changing the word order, and using more expressive language.

Here's the breakdown:

  • "What a": This construction is commonly used to introduce exclamatory sentences and convey a sense of surprise or admiration.
  • "great honour it is": This retains the structure of the original sentence while emphasizing the emotion. The "it is" emphasizes the statement.

So, the resulting sentence expresses a sense of awe or excitement, making it a suitable conversion to an exclamatory sentence.
