He said to her, “What a cold day!”

  • A.He told her that it was a cold day
  • B.He exclaimed sorrowfully that it was a cold day
  • C.He exclaimed that it was a cold day
  • D.He exclaimed that it was a very cold day

Answer: D

Correct answer: He exclaimed that it was a very cold day

An exclamation is reported with a verb of exclaiming, and the force carried by what a…! has to be preserved by an intensifier - hence a very cold day. Dropping very loses that force, told turns the exclamation into a statement, and sorrowfully adds an emotion the original does not express.
