Choose the best option to convert the given Assertive Sentence into Exclamatory Sentence:
I wish I knew more people here.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) - If only I knew more people here!
- The sentence expresses a wish or longing, which can be converted into an exclamatory sentence using "If only" to convey the same sense of regret or desire.
- Other options:
- "What a pity to have known more people here.": Incorrect, as it changes the meaning.
- "Oh! Fie! I know nobody here.": Incorrect, as it adds an unrelated tone of frustration.
- "Alas! I could have known more people here.": Incorrect, as it implies a missed opportunity in the past, which is not the original intent.
