Change the following sentence into an Assertive sentence. Choose the correct answer :

- How foolish of you!

(A) It is so foolish of you.
(B) It was very foolish of you.
(C) It could be very foolish.
(D) So very foolish of you.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

(D) Only

(A) and (D) Only

(B) and (C) Only

(B) Only

Correct Answer:

(D) Only

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1. (D) Only.

The given sentence "How foolish of you!" is an exclamatory sentence that expresses surprise or criticism towards the person being addressed. It implies that the action or behavior of the person is considered foolish by the speaker.

In the assertive form, the same idea is conveyed in a declarative or straightforward manner without the exclamatory or interrogative tone. The option "So very foolish of you." effectively transforms the original sentence into an assertive statement while retaining the same meaning.

By stating "So very foolish of you," the speaker directly asserts that the action or behavior of the person is considered foolish. The use of "so very" emphasizes the degree of foolishness, conveying a similar level of emphasis as the original exclamatory sentence.

Therefore,  "So very foolish of you." is the correct choice for transforming the given sentence into an assertive form.
