    • Telling

    • Question

    Correct Answer
    A. Telling

  • 6. 

    The verb shows action.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement "The verb shows action" is true. In grammar, a verb is a word that expresses an action, occurrence, or state of being. Verbs are the main part of a sentence and they convey the action or the subject's state of being. They can show physical actions like running or eating, as well as mental actions like thinking or understanding. Therefore, it is correct to say that a verb shows action.

    Rate this question:

    The monkeys jump from tree to tree,while flipping through the air.

    • Flipping

    • Monkeys

    • Jump

    • Air

    Correct Answer
    A. Monkeys
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "monkeys" because the sentence specifically mentions monkeys jumping from tree to tree. The word "flipping" and "air" are mentioned in the sentence, but they are not directly associated with the monkeys. Therefore, the focus should be on the subject of the sentence, which is the monkeys.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Is this a sentence? The boy.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given phrase "The boy." is not a complete sentence as it lacks a verb. A sentence must have a subject and a predicate, and a predicate includes a verb. In this case, "The boy." only provides the subject, "The boy", and does not have a verb to complete the sentence. Therefore, the statement is not a sentence and the correct answer is False.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    A statement is a telling sentence.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is correct because a telling sentence, also known as a declarative sentence, is a type of sentence that makes a statement or provides information. It is used to convey facts, opinions, or ideas. Examples of telling sentences include "She is happy" or "The car is blue." Therefore, the statement "A statement is a telling sentence" is true.

    The naming part of a sentence is called a noun. Nouns are words that represent a person, place, thing, or idea. They are the main building blocks of a sentence and typically function as the subject or object of a sentence. Nouns can be concrete (e.g. book, cat) or abstract (e.g. love, happiness).

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    A question tells something.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The question states "A question tells something." This statement is incorrect as a question does not tell something, but rather asks for information or clarification. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    The balloon____________.

    • Jumped

    • Sat

    • Popped

    • Sang

    Correct Answer
    A. Popped
    Explanation
    The word "popped" is the correct answer because it is the only option that makes sense in the context of the sentence. Balloons can pop when they are filled with too much air or if they come into contact with something sharp. The other options, such as "flew," "sat," and "sang," do not fit with the idea of a balloon and are not logical choices. Therefore, the correct answer is "popped."

    Rate this question:

  • 24.

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A declarative sentence is a type of sentence that makes a statement or expresses a fact, opinion, or idea. It is used to convey information or provide an explanation. A telling sentence, on the other hand, is a term sometimes used to describe a declarative sentence. Therefore, it can be concluded that a declarative sentence is indeed the same thing as a telling sentence. Hence, the correct answer is true.

    Rate this question:
