Free Praxis 5002 Practice Test Practice Question
Scenario/Extract:
(1) I knew a lot of words, but I couldn't read a book. (2) I had a million thoughts in my head, but I couldn't share them with anybody. (3) On top of that, people didn't really expect the kids in H-5 to learn much anyway. (4) It was driving me crazy! (5) I couldn't have been much more than six when Mrs. V figured out what I needed. (6) One afternoon after school, after a snack of ice cream with caramel sauce, she flipped through the cable channels and stopped at a documentary about some guy named Stephen Hawking.
Which of the following statements is true?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In sentence 1, "knew" serves as a verb, indicating a past action or state of awareness, which aligns with its primary function in English grammar. Option A incorrectly identifies "knew" as an adverb; adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, but "knew" does not serve this role. Option C misclassifies "really" as an adjective; instead, it acts as an adverb that intensifies the meaning of the verb or adjective it modifies in sentence 3. Lastly, option D incorrectly categorizes "really" as a noun, which it is not, as it does not represent a person, place, thing, or idea.
