i-Ready Diagnostic Test Grammar and Language Conventions

Question 1

Which of the following is a complete sentence?

Accepted Answer

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Answer

A complete sentence must have both a subject and a predicate; 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' has a clear subject (fox) and predicate (jumps).

Question 2

Which sentence uses correct subject-verb agreement?

Accepted Answer

The children play outside every afternoon.

Answer

The plural subject 'children' correctly pairs with the plural verb 'play'; all other options mismatches a singular/plural subject with the wrong verb form.

Question 3

What type of noun is the word 'city'?

Accepted Answer

Common noun

Answer

'City' is a common noun because it names a general place rather than a specific named place like 'Chicago'.

Question 4

Which sentence shows correct use of an apostrophe?

Accepted Answer

The cat's toys are on the floor.

Answer

'The cat's toys' correctly uses an apostrophe after 'cat' to show possession by one cat.

Question 5

Which word is an adjective in the sentence: 'The tiny bird sang a beautiful song'?

Accepted Answer

tiny

Answer

'Tiny' is an adjective because it describes the noun 'bird'; adjectives modify nouns by telling what kind, how many, or which one.
