Transformation — Interrogative & Exclamatory MCQ — 15 Practice Questions with Answers

Explanation

An exclamatory sentence with "How + adjective" is changed into an assertive sentence by placing the subject first and using an intensifier such as "very" before the adjective. The cue is "How beautiful", so the only correct assertive form is "The moonlight is very beautiful." The full stop replaces the exclamation mark.

Explanation

A simple present affirmative sentence with a main verb is changed into an interrogative by using do/does before the subject and the base form of the main verb. The cue is the singular subject 'the assistant', so the auxiliary must be 'does'. After 'does', 'maintains' changes to 'maintain'. Therefore, only 'Does the assistant maintain the attendance register daily?' is correct.

Explanation

For exclamatory transformation, 'very + adjective' becomes 'How + adjective', while 'a very + adjective + singular noun' becomes 'What a + adjective + noun'. A negative assertive sentence can become a rhetorical interrogative with the same sense. The cues are 'very cold', 'not the proper way', and 'a very skilful typist'. Therefore, the only correct matching is 1-Q, 2-P, 3-R. S is ungrammatical because 'How' cannot directly take the noun phrase 'skilful typist' in this pattern.

Explanation

An exclamatory sentence beginning with 'How' plus an adverb is changed into an assertive sentence by replacing the exclamatory force with an intensifier such as 'very'. The cue is the adverb 'neatly', which describes the manner of arranging. The tense remains simple past, so only 'She arranged the files very neatly' preserves both grammar and meaning.

Explanation

A 'How + adverb' exclamatory sentence should become an assertive sentence that keeps the same quality and adds an intensifier such as 'very'. The cue is 'fast', so the correct sense is 'The train runs very fast.' Option D changes 'fast' to 'slowly', reversing the meaning. Hence only option D is incorrectly transformed.
