Question

It is dead now. Identify the interjection which is not appropriate for use.

• A. Alas!
• B. What a pity!
• C. Oh!
• D. Yay!

Hint:

Choose interjections based on the emotion of the sentence—use joyful interjections for happiness and sorrowful ones for sad situations.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understand the context of the sentence: “It is dead now.” This sentence expresses sadness or sorrow.
Step 2: Interjections are words that express sudden emotions or feelings.
Step 3: Check each option for suitability:

Alas! — expresses sorrow or grief (appropriate).
What a pity! — expresses regret or sadness (appropriate).
Oh! — can express shock or sadness (appropriate).
Yay! — expresses joy or celebration (not appropriate).

Step 4: Since the situation is sad, “Yay!” is not suitable.
