Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : He was not a hero to do such a deed.

The correct answer is - He was not a hero to do such a deed.

• Let's look at the points given below:
  • An assertive sentence expresses the validity or truth of a basic assertion.
  • An interrogative sentence is a sentence whose grammatical form shows that it is a question.
  • An interrogative sentence generally starts with a helping verb or an interrogative word (what, how, etc.) and ends with a question mark (?).
  • While transforming a sentence from one form to another, its essence, meaning and tense should remain the same.
  • One of the ways to convert an interrogative sentence into an assertive sentence is, the subject is put at the beginning of the sentence.
  • The auxiliary verb 'was not' must be put after the subject.
  • Rest of the part remains the same.
  • The desired structure is followed only in the 1st option.​  

The transformed sentence is - He was not a hero to do such a deed.
