Pick out the incorrect Exclamatory sentence for the given Assertion :…

The correct answer is Option (1) → To think of our meeting here!

Note: The given answer is as per the official NTA Answer Key. However, more than one answer is possible here: Option (1) "To think of our meeting here!" and Option (3) "Oh ! Strange that we met here!" both fail to express the given assertion correctly, as explained below.

Option 1: To think of our meeting here! — Correct (Answer as per NTA).

• The usual exclamatory forms of "It is strange that we should meet here" are "How strange that we should meet here!" and "To think that we should meet here!".
• Option 1 changes the clause "that we should meet here" into the noun phrase "of our meeting", so it does not keep the structure of the assertion.
  Example: It is strange that he should fail. → To think that he should fail!

Option 2: Strange that we meet here! — Incorrect. Correct use: it keeps the feeling (strange) and the present time of the assertion, so it is a correct exclamation.

Option 3: Oh ! Strange that we met here! — Can also be considered as correct.

• The assertion is about meeting now ("should meet").
• "Met" puts the meeting in the past tense, so the exclamation no longer says the same thing as the assertion.

Option 4: How strange that we meet here! — Incorrect. Correct use: "How + adjective" is the regular exclamatory form, and it keeps the meaning and time of the assertion, so it is a correct exclamation.
