Key Points
- "Wah!" is an exclamatory interjection and should be followed by an exclamation mark to express strong emotion.
- The phrase "What a shot!" is also exclamatory and should end with an exclamation mark.
- Correct punctuation separates the exclamatory interjection "Wah!" from the rest of the sentence.
- Using two exclamation marks enhances the enthusiastic tone of the sentence.
- Standard English punctuation rules dictate that exclamatory phrases end with an exclamation mark.
- Ensuring the punctuation is clear and correct conveys the intended excitement and admiration.

- Option 1: The sentence improperly uses a question mark after an exclamatory phrase.

- Option 4: The capital "W" in "What" is incorrect following a comma unless it starts a new sentence, which it does not here.
