The correct answer is Option (1) - How I wish I were a doctor!
To express a strong feeling or desire in an exclamatory sentence, we often use "how" at the beginning to intensify the statement. In this case, "How I wish I were a doctor!" vividly communicates the speaker's deep longing.
-
- "How I wish I were a doctor!" – This option uses the adverb "how" to emphasize the intensity of the wish. It is grammatically sound and correctly conveys the sentiment.
- "Oh that I wish I were a doctor!" – While it begins with "oh," the use of "that" in this construction is awkward and not commonly accepted in standard modern usage for exclamatory sentences.
- "What I wish I were a doctor!" – The structure using "what" is typically reserved for exclamations modifying a noun phrase (e.g., "What a beautiful day!") rather than directly modifying a wish, making it less suitable.
- "Hurrah! I wish I were a doctor" – "Hurrah!" is an exclamation of joy or triumph and does not appropriately reflect the wistful, longing sentiment of wishing to be a doctor.
