Answer 1

Hint: Punctuation is the use of white space, conventional signs, and complex typographical devices to aid understanding and correct reading of the written text, whether read silently or aloud. Punctuation links or separates words, phrases, or sentences in order to explain the meanings of texts.

Complete answer:
Punctuate sentences to provide additional information to the reader, such as when a sentence finishes, whether or not it is a question, and whether or not a group of words is a list.
Option A) Wow! what an expression she had? - Rather than an exclamatory sentence, a question mark is used to punctuate an interrogative sentence that demands an answer. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option B) Wow what an expression she had. - In a declarative sentence, rather than an exclamatory sentence, a full stop is used. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option C) Wow! What an expression she had! - In prose, an exclamation mark is used to denote an exclamatory clause or phrase. The exclamation ‘Wow' is often used to express surprise. As a result, an exclamation mark should be placed after it. Similarly, ‘What an expression she had' is another exclamatory sentence, because the first letter of the sentence as a result, the first letter of the sentence must be capitalised, and the sentence must end with an exclamation mark.
Hence, this option is correct.
Option D) Wow! what an expression she had. - In a declarative sentence, rather than an exclamatory sentence, a full stop is used. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Therefore, option ‘C’ i.e, Wow! What an expression she had! is the correct answer. Since the sentence is correctly in a punctuated version.

Note: When you're astonished or disturbed, exclamations are quick utterances you produce. It isn't always a whole sentence. They can sound more like a noise than a word at times. Interjections are what they're termed in this situation. Example:- Get off my lawn!
