Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → D only
Assertive to exclamatory:
- An assertive sentence with very + adverb (or adjective) is changed by:
- Replacing "very" with How.
- Bringing How + the adverb to the front, followed by the subject and verb.
- Ending with an exclamation mark.
- This sentence: "You dance very well." → "How well you dance!"
Example: She sings very sweetly. → How sweetly she sings!
(A) How you dance! — Incorrect.
- The adverb well is dropped, so the praise for the quality of the dancing is lost.
- Correct form: How well you dance!
(B) You dance very very well! — Incorrect.
- Only the mark changes.
- The sentence keeps the assertive word order without "How".
- Correct form: How well you dance!
(C) You can dance well! — Incorrect.
- "Can" speaks of ability, and "very" is lost.
- The meaning changes.
- Correct form: How well you dance!
(D) How well you dance! — Correct.
- "Very well" becomes How well at the front, followed by the subject and verb.
