| Jan 23, 2014 at 15:02 | comment | added | Gaurang Tandon | @CoolHandLouis The chapter is "Transformation of Sentences". Example Sentence: 'He took an active part in the contest.' Use an adverb instead of 'active' . Answer: He actively participated in the contest. And I am sorry, but this question I posted of King is the only question that deals with question marks at the end of the sentence. | |
| Jan 23, 2014 at 15:01 | comment | added | Gaurang Tandon | Ok, I accepted Dipak's answer and I think the question should be left as it is, since, this question is so very confusing, and can't be answered. And this is why I called it "Bewildering". Even I faced the same problem as snailplane or StoneyB are facing, but posted the question just to make myself assured that no answer can fully satisfy this question. Thank you all. | |
| Jan 23, 2014 at 14:59 | comment | added | CoolHandLouis | Can you give more context about this question? What is the chapter or sub-chapter/section that this is related to? Is there any example in the book that transforms a sentence into another one that ends in a question mark? Also, have you copied the complete question verbatim? | |

| Jan 23, 2014 at 14:07 | comment | added | user230 | I can't think of a way to preserve the optative meaning while transforming it into a question. Sorry. | |
