Kinds of Sentence

Question:

Change the following sentence into an exclamatory sentence by choosing the correct option from below.

It is a horrible night.

Options:

How night horrible!

What a night is it!

What a horrible night !

Horrible night is it !

Correct Answer:

What a horrible night !

Explanation:
To change a sentence into an exclamatory sentence, we often use the structure "What" or "How" followed by an adjective or adverb, depending on the context. In this case, the original sentence "It is a horrible night" can be transformed into an exclamatory sentence by using "What" before the adjective "horrible." Therefore, "What a horrible night!" expresses a strong feeling or reaction to the night being described as horrible.
The best option to turn the sentence into an exclamatory one is: Option 3: What a horrible night!

Here's why:

  • "How night horrible!" sounds awkward and grammatically incorrect. It disrupts the sentence structure and doesn't emphasize the emotion.
  • "What a night is it!" focuses on "night" instead of "horrible," which dilutes the intended impact.
  • "Horrible night is it!" inverts the sentence, making it sound unnatural and less forceful.
  • "What a horrible night!" retains the original structure while adding the exclamation mark and intensifying the adjective "horrible." This effectively conveys the speaker's strong feeling about the unpleasantness of the night.
