Which one of the following is the correct Exclamatory form of the sentence - 'It is very nice of you'.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → How nice of you!
Assertive to exclamatory:
An exclamatory sentence expresses a strong feeling and ends with an exclamation mark.
| Change | Assertive | Exclamatory | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opening words | very nice | How nice | “Very + adjective” is replaced by “How + adjective”: very nice becomes “How nice”. |
| Subject + verb | It is | – (dropped) | The words “It is” can be dropped, since the feeling is clear. |
| End mark | (.) | (!) | An exclamatory sentence ends with an exclamation mark. |
| Full sentence | It is very nice of you. | How nice of you! |
Example: It is very kind of him. → How kind of him!
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: It is very nice of you ! — Incorrect. Only the punctuation has changed. The sentence keeps its assertive form with "very".
Option 3: Oh! How nice to have you! — Incorrect. The meaning changes: "nice to have you" welcomes a guest, whereas the original praises the person's kindness.
Option 4: Hope you are nice! — Incorrect. This expresses a wish about the person, a different meaning altogether.
