Choose the correct option to change the Assertive Sentence into an Exclamatory Sentence :
These mangoes have a delicious flavour.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → What a delicious flavour these Mangoes have!
Assertive to exclamatory with "What a":
- When the quality belongs to a noun (a delicious flavour), the exclamation begins with What a/an.
- Pattern: What a + adjective + noun + subject + verb + !
| Change | Assertive | Exclamatory | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opening words | a delicious flavour | What a delicious flavour | What a + “delicious flavour”. |
| Word order | These mangoes have a delicious flavour | What a delicious flavour these Mangoes have | Subject + verb: “these mangoes have”. |
| End mark | (.) | (!) | The sentence ends with an exclamation mark. |
| Full sentence | These mangoes have a delicious flavour. | What a delicious flavour these Mangoes have! |
Example: She has a sweet voice. → What a sweet voice she has!
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: A delicious flavour these Mangoes have! — Incorrect. The exclamatory word "What" is missing, so the inverted order has nothing to introduce it.
Option 3: Mangoes have a delicious flavour! — Incorrect. It only adds an exclamation mark and drops "These". There is no exclamatory structure.
Option 4: These Mangoes have flavour delicious! — Incorrect. The adjective is placed after the noun ("flavour delicious"), the article is dropped, and "What a" is missing.
Contrast: What a + adjective + noun ("What a delicious flavour these mangoes have!"). How + adjective or adverb alone ("How well you played!").
