Which of the following is the most appropriate exclamatory form of the sentence?
'It is wonderful that a child is so knowledgeable at this age.'
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The original sentence is: "It is wonderful that a child is so knowledgeable at this age."
To convert it into an exclamatory form, we express surprise or admiration. The appropriate transformation is: "What a knowledgeable child at this age!"
Here's a breakdown of the transformation:
-
Original Sentence:
- It is a declarative sentence stating a fact: "A child is knowledgeable at this age."
-
Exclamatory Transformation:
- "What a" is commonly used in exclamatory sentences to express admiration or surprise.
- "knowledgeable child" retains the essence of the original sentence while adding an exclamatory tone.
So, the transformed sentence, "What a knowledgeable child at this age!" expresses wonder and admiration at the child's knowledge at such a young age
