Explanation
Sentences 1 and 2 express strong emotions and end with an exclamation mark, which makes them exclamatory sentences. When converting exclamatory sentences to declarative sentences in reported speech, interjections (Oh, Wah) are removed and replaced with reporting verbs like 'exclaimed with joy' or 'exclaimed with admiration'. Exclamatory phrases like 'how much' and 'how soulful' are converted to statements using 'very much' and 'very soulful'. Quotation marks and exclamation marks are removed, pronouns are adjusted, and tenses are shifted (present to past).
