C. Help me please!
D. What a nice man you are!
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → D
Exclamatory sentence:
- An exclamatory sentence expresses a strong feeling such as surprise, joy or admiration.
- It usually begins with What or How and ends with an exclamation mark: What a ... ! / How ... !
- An exclamation mark alone does not make a sentence exclamatory: an order with "!" is still imperative.
(A) Go away! — Incorrect.
- It gives an order: an imperative sentence, though spoken forcefully.
(B) Are you blind? — Incorrect.
- It asks a question: an interrogative sentence.
(C) Help me please! — Incorrect.
- It makes a request: an imperative sentence.
(D) What a nice man you are! — Correct.
- It begins with "What a" and expresses admiration.
Contrast: What a nice man you are! expresses a feeling (exclamatory). Go away! gives an order (imperative), even with an exclamation mark.
