Kinds of Sentence

Question:

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.'

Options:

Oh! A child and so knowledgeable at this age!

A knowledgeable child at this age!

What a knowledgeable child at this age!

How knowledgeable a child is!

Correct Answer:

What a knowledgeable child at this age!

Explanation:

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:

  1. Original Sentence:

    • It is a declarative sentence stating a fact: "A child is knowledgeable at this age."
  2. 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
