Change the following sentence into an Assertive sentence. Choose the…

The correct answer is Option (1) → (C)

Exclamatory to assertive:

• "A child and so intelligent at this age!" expresses surprise or wonder.
• In the assertive form:
  • The feeling of wonder is stated in words: It is wonderful that ...
  • The exclamation becomes a full clause with a subject and verb: a child is so intelligent.
  • Every part of the meaning is kept, including at this age.
• This sentence: "It is wonderful that a child is so intelligent at this age."
  Example: A boy and so brave! → It is surprising that a boy is so brave.

(A) It is wonderful to have an intelligent child. — Incorrect.

• It speaks of the joy of having a clever child.
• The wonder at his age is lost.

(B) It was wonderful like that child. — Incorrect.

• The sentence makes no sense and changes the tense to "was".

(C) It is wonderful that a child is so intelligent at this age. — Correct.

• It keeps the wonder, the subject a child, so intelligent and at this age.

(D) It is wonderful that a mere child is so intelligent. — Incorrect.

• "A mere child" is a good way of showing the surprise, but the words "at this age" are left out, so part of the meaning of the exclamation is lost.
