Question

Fill in the blank with a appropriate word:
_______! What a cute kitten.
A. Alas
B. Eh
C. Hey
D. Ouch

Answer 1

Hint:A statement that conveys intense emotion or excitement is rendered by an exclamatory sentence. Placing the tiny stripe at the end of a sentence above a period can really rock the boat! For example: "I received the tickets for the concert!"

Complete answer:
A word or two (usually accompanied by an exclamation mark) that communicates a sudden emotion is an interjection. It is not connected to the rest of the sentence grammatically.
As the kitten is adorable, the given sentence expresses a positive emotion.
As an interjection, Choice C:' Hey' reflects a sudden joy or enthusiasm. This is most applicable to the sentence as opposed to the other choices. When seeing the adorable kitten, the author expresses a positive emotion (joy). C is therefore right. Option A: 'Alas' refers to remorse or sorrow. This shows sad, unhappy feelings.
Option B: 'Eh' shows surprise or is used when something is challenged.
For example, if your friend pinches your arm a little too hard, you instinctively scream 'ouch!' Choice D: 'Ouch' expresses sudden pain. '.
For the sentence given, these options are not suitable. A, B and D are also wrong.

Additional information:
Here are some examples of exclamatory sentences:
1. You were meant to be back yesterday!
(expresses anger)
2. Jeepers! You scared the life out of me!
(expresses surprise)
3. We won!
(expresses happiness)
4. This puzzle is driving me up the wall!
(expresses frustration)
5. You're adorable!
(expresses love)
6. It's a boy!
(expresses joy)
7. I'm really going to miss this place!
(expresses sorrow)

Hence the correct answer is option ‘C’

Note: We need to follow some grammatical rules to answer this type of question as- Put the exclamation point inside the closing quotation marks if it applies to the words enclosed by the quotation marks. “There's a spider on my arm!” yelped Jeremy. If the exclamation point applies to the sentence as a whole, then place it at the very end.
