The correct answer is Option (3) - Oh, if I were an astronaut!
-
Option 1: "I wish that I was an astronaut!" Not exclamatory — it's just a restatement of the original wish. Also, "was" is less formal than "were" in such hypothetical cases.
-
Option 2: "I wish that I could be an astronaut!" Similar to the original sentence, but still not an exclamatory transformation.
-
Option 3: "Oh, if I were an astronaut!" Correct exclamatory structure showing desire/regret.
-
Option 4: "Alas! I were an astronaut!" Grammatically incorrect. “Alas” expresses sorrow but must be followed by a complete and correct clause, like “Alas! I am not an astronaut.”
