Choose the correct option to change the following assertive sentence into an exclamatory sentence:
It is a matter of great happiness that we have won the trophy.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Hurrah! we have won the trophy.
- To convert an assertive sentence into an exclamatory sentence, we use an exclamatory word (Hurrah!, Alas!, Oh!, What!, How! etc.).
- "Hurrah!" is used to express joy or happiness, which fits the context of winning the trophy.
Thus, the correct sentence is: "Hurrah! We have won the trophy."
OTHER OPTIONS
- "Alas! we have won the trophy." → "Alas!" is used to express sorrow or disappointment, which is incorrect for this joyful situation.
- "Hurrah! we won the trophy!" → Incorrect because it changes the tense ("won" instead of "have won").
- "Hay! we had won the trophy!" → "Hay" is not an appropriate exclamation, and "had won" (past perfect) is incorrect.
