Explanation:

- Option 1: The sentence captures the mother's excitement or joy but the expression can be too general. It doesn't specifically mention admiration, which is a key element of the original sentence.

- Option 2: This option lacks the emotional expression evident in the original direct speech. It simply states a fact rather than conveying admiration.

- Option 3: Similar to option 2, this option misses out on the excitement and admiration, making it sound more like a statement of fact.

- Option 4: This option captures the admiration and cleverness expressed by the mother. The word "admiringly" aligns with the original sentence's tone of praise and surprise.
