SATs: grammar, punctuation and spelling paper, sentence 2

Little words change everything: "Circle the word that is NOT a noun" asks the opposite of "Circle the noun", so read the whole question.

Who acts: Little words, word, Circle · What happens: change, not be, ask, read · To what, where: everything, noun, opposite, whole question · Speech: someone speaks here
