--description--

Reacting to someone's statements in conversation often means showing that you understand their situation or feelings. What a responsibility is an example of this.

Even though it begins with the question word what, it is not a question but a statement. The structure What a... is often used to show strong feelings or recognition about something. For example:

• What a surprise! means you feel strongly surprised.

• What a beautiful day! means you are showing a strong positive reaction.

In the same way, What a responsibility shows that you recognize the importance and seriousness of someone's duties.
