Change the following sentence from Assertive to Exclamatory:
It has been a difficult year.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → What a difficult year it has been!
To convert an assertive sentence to an exclamatory one:
- Use phrases like "What a" or "How" to express strong emotion.
- The sentence must retain its original meaning while conveying emphasis.
"What a difficult year it has been!" correctly expresses the sentiment of the original statement in an exclamatory form. The other options are either grammatically incorrect or do not effectively convert the sentence to an exclamatory tone.
