(a) To make the sentence 'Man is mortal' negative without changing its meaning, you can say: 'Man is not immortal.' This retains the original meaning that man is mortal.
(b) The sentence 'He is too weak to carry the load' can be made complex by introducing a clause that adds detail. One way to do this is: 'He is so weak that he cannot carry the load.'
(c) To change 'Everybody wishes to be happy' into an interrogative sentence without changing its meaning, you can phrase it as: 'Does everybody wish to be happy?'
(d) To make the sentence 'You are a great fool' exclamatory, you can express it as: 'What a great fool you are!'
(e) Simplifying 'He is rich but unhappy' into a simple sentence involves removing the conjunction 'but' and combining the two ideas: 'Despite being rich, he is unhappy.'
(f) To make the negative sentence 'He is not strong' into an affirmative one without changing the meaning, you can express it as: 'He is weak.'
