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: The word "knew" in sentence 1 is a verb, indicating an action or state of being related to knowledge. This aligns with the definition of verbs as words that express actions, events, or states.
Option A is incorrect because "knew" does not modify a verb, adjective, or another adverb, which is the role of an adverb.
Option C misidentifies "really" as an adjective; instead, it functions as an adverb, modifying a verb or an adjective to intensify meaning.
Option D incorrectly classifies "really" as a noun, while it serves to modify other words rather than act as a subject or object.
