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.
