Transform the following sentence from Assertive to Exclamatory:
The book is very informative.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → What an informative book it is!
Assertive to exclamatory with "What":
| Change | Assertive | Exclamatory | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opening words | very informative | What an informative book | “Very” + adjective + noun is changed to What a/an + adjective + noun + subject + verb! “Informative” begins with a vowel sound, so “an” is used. |
| End mark | (.) | (!) | The sentence ends with an exclamation mark. |
| Full sentence | The book is very informative. | What an informative book it is! |
Example: It is a very tall tower. → What a tall tower it is!
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Informative book, wow! — Incorrect. It is a fragment with no subject or verb.
Option 2: It is a informative book! — Incorrect. It is still a statement, and "a informative" should be "an informative".
Option 4: Hurry, informative book! — Incorrect. "Hurry" adds a meaning that is not in the sentence. The result makes no sense.
