80. Choose the correct exclamatory sentences. 1. How clever and talented you are! 2. How unexpected was the announcement! 3. How honourably she behaved! 4. How colourfully fields look in spring! A) 1,3 B) 1, 2 C) 2, 3 D) 3, 4 E) 1,4​

The correct answer is **C) 1, 2**.

Here's why:

* **Exclamatory sentences** express strong emotions or feelings, such as surprise, excitement, anger, or fear. They usually end with an exclamation mark (!).

* **Sentence 1 ("How clever and talented you are!")** expresses admiration and surprise, making it an exclamatory sentence.

* **Sentence 2 ("How unexpected was the announcement!")** expresses surprise, making it an exclamatory sentence.

* **Sentence 3 ("How honourably she behaved!")** expresses approval and admiration, but it does not use an exclamation mark, making it a declarative sentence.

* **Sentence 4 ("How colourfully fields look in spring!")** expresses admiration, but it describes a quality rather than an event or action, making it a declarative sentence.

Therefore, only sentences 1 and 2 are true exclamatory sentences.

Here are some additional tips for identifying exclamatory sentences:

* They often begin with words like "how," "what," or "what a."

* They may use emphatic verbs like "is" or "was."

* They may have inverted word order, such as placing the adjective before the noun.
