Question:

Select the most appropriate Exclamatory form of the sentence:

It was very foolish of me to throw my mobile.

Options:

How foolish I am that I threw my mobile!

I am a fool to throw my mobile!

Am I that foolish to throw my mobile!

How foolish of me to throw my mobile!

Correct Answer:

How foolish of me to throw my mobile!

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) - How foolish of me to throw my mobile!

An Exclamatory Sentence expresses strong emotion and often begins with "How" or "What".

The given sentence:
"It was very foolish of me to throw my mobile."

  • This expresses regret and foolishness.
  • The correct exclamatory transformation should begin with "How" and maintain the same meaning.

 "How foolish of me to throw my mobile!"

  • This correctly expresses strong emotion in exclamatory form.

OTHER OPTIONS

 "How foolish I am that I threw my mobile!" → Incorrect

  • Grammatically awkward and does not follow standard exclamatory sentence structure.

 "I am a fool to throw my mobile!" → Incorrect

  • This is a declarative sentence, not an exclamatory one.

 "Am I that foolish to throw my mobile!" → Incorrect

  • This is a question (interrogative form), not an exclamatory sentence.
