Correct Answer:

(C)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → (C)

An exclamatory sentence expresses strong emotions like surprise, admiration, joy, or excitement and usually begins with "What" or "How" and ends with an exclamation mark (!).

  • "What a beautiful dress she is wearing." → Expresses admiration and is in exclamatory form.

  • (A) "To err is human." → This is a statement (assertive sentence), not an exclamation.
  • (B) "Talking much is a sign of vanity."  → This is a declarative sentence.
  • (D) "My views do not appeal to him."  → This is also a declarative sentence.
