English TEAS Practice Test

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The word "remains" is a verb in the sentence. Here's why: 1. Function: It is the main verb in the sentence, indicating the action of the water staying in the sky. 2. Action: Verbs show actions or states of being, and "remains" shows the state of the water staying. 3. Inflection: Verbs can be inflected to show tense, mood, aspect, and agreement. In this case, "remains" is inflected for present tense. 4. Context: The word "remains" fits the sentence structure as a verb, connecting the subject (water) to the predicate (staying in the sky). In summary, 'remains' is a verb because it functions as the main action in the sentence, showing the state of the water, and fits the context and structure of the sentence.

A should have "president" lowercase unless directly preceding the name, C should have "aunt" and "uncle" lowercase unless directly preceding the names, and D should have "New Year's Eve" capitalized as it is a proper noun.

Locations and regions refer to physical places, while punishments relate to penalties or consequences, none of which are related to the diverse areas of study mentioned in the sentence.
