In the following sentences transform the given sentence as per the directions: 

Was he not a villain to do such a deed? (Change into an Assertive Sentence)

The correct answer is '3' i.e. He was a villain to do such a deed.

Key Points

• The given sentence is interrogative (a rhetorical question) and needs to be transformed into an assertive sentence.
• A rhetorical question often implies its own answer, and the assertive form should reflect the implied meaning.
• The sentence "Was he not a villain to do such a deed?" strongly implies that he *was* a villain for committing such an act.
• Hence, the assertive transformation is: "He was a villain to do such a deed."

Correct sentence: He was a villain to do such a deed.
