the little child met with an accident ( make it exclamatory)
Answers
Answer:
While changing an exclamatory sentence to assertive, the structure of the sentence changes. The structure of the given exclamatory sentence is: Alas! subject (he) + verb (died) + clause/phrase (so young). When a sentence of this structure is transformed to assertive, the structure of the assertive sentence is: It is a pity + subject + verb + phrase/clause. The option that follows this structure is option A, hence it's correct. Option B is incorrect as it does not follow this structure, Alas does not mean 'I wish'. Option C is incorrect as 'I wish' is not the translation of 'Alas!' and the rest of the sentence has completely changed in meaning, the original sentence makes the incident (him dying so young) sound unfortunate whereas option C wishes for the incident to happen. Option D is incorrect because 'Alas!' is not translated to 'I think' while transforming to assertive. In an assertive sentence, 'Alas!' is replaced by 'it is a pity' or 'it is a matter of sorrow'.
