Question

Change the given sentence to an assertive sentence:
What a hot day it is! [Intermediate]

• A. It is a very hot day.
• B. Isn't it a hot day?
• C. It is a hot day.
• D. A hot day it is.

Answer 1

The correct option is A It is a very hot day.

Exclamatory sentences are those sentences that express a state of sorrow, joy, wonder, or excitement. To change such sentences into indirect speech, specific words are added to the sentence like exclaimed with joy, exclaimed with wonder, cried with grief, wish, etc.

The given sentence shows astonishment. The sentence would become - It is a very hot day. Option B is not an assertive sentence.

Options C and D do not show astonishment.

Thus, option A is the correct answer.
