Choose the correct exclamatory sentence for the following sentence:

It is a matter of regret that your grandfather has passed away.

Alas! You have lost your grandfather!

The correct answer is Option (4) - Alas! You have lost your grandfather!

Exclamatory sentences express strong emotions or feelings, often starting with words like Oh, Alas, or How.

• "Alas" is commonly used to express sorrow or regret, making it the most suitable choice in this context.

• "It is regrettable that your grandfather has passed away!"

  • This is a declarative sentence, not an exclamatory one, and lacks the emotional intensity of an exclamation.

• "Oh! We lost your grandfather!"

  • While this conveys sadness, it is informal and does not match the tone of the given sentence.

• "How regretful are we to lose your grandfather!"

  • This phrasing is awkward and not commonly used, making it less appropriate.
