Choose the correct conversion of the following Assertive sentence to Exclamatory sentence:

It is sad, we have lost the match.

Alas! we have lost the match.

The correct answer is Option (2) - Alas! we have lost the match.

The exclamatory sentence should convey the same tense and meaning as the assertive sentence. The word "Alas!" is used to express sorrow, and the present perfect tense "have lost" matches the original assertive sentence.

"It is sad, we have lost the match." → "Alas! we have lost the match."

Options:

1. Alas! we lost the match.

   • Incorrect: This changes the tense to simple past, which is not consistent with the original sentence.

2. Alas! we have lost the match.

   • Correct: This retains both the tense and meaning of the original sentence.

3. Alas! we had lost the match.

   • Incorrect: The past perfect tense changes the meaning and does not align with the original sentence.

4. Alas! the match had been lost.

   • Incorrect: This uses the passive voice and past perfect tense, which changes the sentence structure and meaning.
