ATI TEAS English Questions

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: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Comma splice. A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are incorrectly joined by a comma without a coordinating conjunction. In this sentence, "Some workers use all their sick leave" and "other workers cash out their leave" are both independent clauses. To correct the comma splice, you can either use a semicolon or add a coordinating conjunction like "and" after the comma. Summary: A: Parallelism - Not the error, as the sentence structure is not the issue. C: Sentence fragment - Not the error, as both parts are complete sentences. D: Subject-verb agreement - Not the error, as the subjects and verbs agree in the sentence.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because it combines the two sentences with the appropriate conjunction "and" to show that the individual participated in both activities. This choice maintains clarity and flow by connecting the two related actions seamlessly. Choice A (NO CHANGE) leaves the sentences as separate entities, which may not convey the connection between the activities effectively. Choice B uses "but," which implies a contrast or contradiction between the activities, when in fact, they are both positive contributions. Choice C creates a comma splice error by using a comma without a coordinating conjunction, making it grammatically incorrect.

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: D

Rationale: The word 'fresh' in the sentence is describing the noun 'approach,' indicating a quality or attribute of the noun. Therefore, 'fresh' is functioning as an adjective in this context. Adjectives modify and describe nouns or pronouns. In contrast, if 'fresh' was a noun, it would be the subject or object of the sentence. If it was a verb, it would indicate an action. As an adverb, it would modify a verb, adjective, or another adverb, which is not the case here. Thus, the correct answer is D (Adjective).
