Skillo has targeted practice questions for this exact skill, mapped to the Australian Curriculum v9.0, free and ready to go.

Sample questions
Question 1 — Easy
After watching the sunset at Uluru, Priya ___ that the colours were the most beautiful she had ever seen.
Answer: The sentence requires a thinking verb because Priya is forming an opinion or judgement about the colours. 'Believed' is a thinking process verb that expresses a mental judgement. 'Shouted' is a saying verb, 'ran' is a doing verb, and 'became' is a relating verb — none of these express an internal thought process.
Question 2 — Medium
After watching the sunset over Uluru, Priya ___ that the colours were the most beautiful she had ever seen.
Answer: The sentence requires a thinking verb because Priya is forming an opinion or judgment in her mind about the colours. 'Believed' is a thinking verb that fits this internal mental process. 'Sprinted' is a doing verb, 'whispered' is a saying verb, and 'became' is a relating verb — none of these describe an internal thought process.
Question 3 — Hard
After the long hike, Priya sat quietly and ___ how tired her legs felt.
Answer: The sentence requires a thinking verb because Priya is processing an awareness or understanding in her mind. 'Realised' is a thinking verb showing internal mental awareness. 'Announced' is a saying verb, 'sprinted' is a doing verb, and 'became' is a relating verb — none of these capture the required internal mental process.
