English Narration Narration Change Assertive and Interrogative sentence Question #7345 (CAT-I)

Change the narration: She said, "How beautiful the sunset is!"

A She exclaimed with joy that the sunset was very beautiful.

B She asked how beautiful the sunset was.

C She said that the sunset is very beautiful.

D She exclaimed with wonder that the sunset was very beautiful.

Correct Answer & Explanation

Option D

• This is an exclamatory sentence. 'How beautiful' expresses wonder or admiration. • The reporting verb changes to 'exclaimed with wonder' (or 'joy' could also fit depending on context, but 'wonder' is more general for 'How...'). • The exclamation is converted into an assertive sentence. 'Is' (Present) changes to 'was' (Past). • 'How beautiful' changes to 'very beautiful' or 'greatly beautiful'.
