ATI TEAS English Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Based on the affixes, which of the following words could be defined as 'the study of humans'?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Anthropology. The affix "anthropo-" relates to humans, and "-logy" means the study of. Therefore, anthropology can be defined as the study of humans. A: Biology is the study of life forms, not specifically humans. B: Philanthropy is the act of helping others, not related to the study of humans. C: Anthropomorphism is attributing human characteristics to non-human entities, not the study of humans.
Question 2 of 5
Which word in the following sentence is an adverb?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Likely. An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb and usually ends in -ly. In the sentence, "She will likely arrive on time," the word "likely" modifies the verb "arrive," indicating the probability of her arrival. The other choices, B: Annoyed, C: Assigned, and D: Unnecessary, are all adjectives describing the subject or object of the sentence, not modifying a verb. Therefore, they are not adverbs.
Question 3 of 5
The shear number of people in the audience overwhelmed the actress as she peeked through the curtain before scene one. Which of the following correctly describes an error in the sentence above?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because "shear" is a homophone error in the sentence. "Shear" means to cut or remove, which doesn't make sense in the context of the sentence. The correct word should be "sheer," which means absolute or pure. A: The homograph 'peeked' is correct as it means to look quickly or secretly. B: The homograph 'through' is correct as it indicates moving in one side and out of the other. D: The homophone 'scene' is correct as it refers to a part of a play or movie being performed.
Question 4 of 5
Which word in the following sentence is a slang term?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Digs. "Digs" is a slang term meaning a place to live. In this sentence, "I love my new digs," "digs" is used informally. "Classical" (B) is a standard English word referring to traditional or high-quality music. "Totally" (C) is an adverb commonly used in informal speech but not exclusively slang. "Jarring" (D) means shocking or disturbing, and though it may not be as casual as "digs," it is not a slang term.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following sentences correctly uses parallel structure?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it maintains parallel structure by using gerunds (hiking, swimming, running) for each activity in the list. This ensures consistency and clarity in the sentence. Choice A is incorrect because it mixes gerunds with an infinitive ("to run"). Choice C is incorrect because it mixes gerunds with an infinitive and lacks consistency. Choice D is incorrect because it creates a fragmented list by separating "hiking" from the other activities.
