ATI TEAS English Questions

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because the sentence is already using the possessive form correctly with "Black Panther Party's approach." Options B, C, and D are redundant as they all add "Party's" after "Black Panther Party" which is unnecessary. The possessive form is indicated by the apostrophe followed by "s" after the noun, in this case, "Black Panther Party." Adding "Party's" again in the options does not enhance the sentence structure or clarify the meaning. Option A maintains clarity and conciseness by correctly using the possessive form without unnecessary repetition.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Misplaced modifier. In the sentence, "Forgetting that he was supposed to meet his girlfriend for dinner," the modifier "Forgetting" is meant to describe Fred, but it is placed next to Anita instead. This creates confusion as it seems Anita is the one forgetting. The correct structure should be "Forgetting that he was supposed to meet his girlfriend for dinner, Fred was mad when he showed up late." A: Parallelism - Not relevant to the error in the sentence. B: Run-on sentence - The sentence is not a run-on as it has a clear subject and verb structure. D: Subject-verb agreement - The subject and verb agreement is correct in the sentence.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because none of the words in the question or choices are misspelled. "Greatest," "achievement," and "leader" are all spelled correctly. Therefore, there is no misspelling to identify in this question. It is important to carefully read and analyze each word before determining if there are any spelling errors present.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The word 'exhaustive' is describing the nature of the inquiry, making it an adjective. Adjectives modify nouns or pronouns by providing more information about them. In this sentence, 'exhaustive' describes the type of inquiry conducted by the investigators. The word 'exhaustive' is not a noun, as it does not represent a person, place, thing, or idea; not a verb, as it does not show an action or state of being; and not an adverb, as it does not modify a verb, adjective, or another adverb. Therefore, the correct answer is D: Adjective.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: effect; than. 1. "Effect" is the correct word choice to indicate the result of increasing bus fares on ridership. 2. "Than" is used to compare the impact on ridership to what was expected. 3. "Affect" is incorrect as it is a verb, not a noun like "effect". 4. "Then" is incorrect as it refers to time sequence, which is not relevant in this context.
