ATI TEAS 7 English quizlet

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct past participle of the verb 'lie' (to recline) is 'lain' because it follows the pattern of the verb conjugation for 'lie' (lie-lay-lain). This form is used when the action of lying down has already been completed. The other choices are incorrect: A (lied) is the past simple form, C (lay) is the past tense form, and D (lying) is the present participle form.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: The author's unique perspective and personality. Voice in writing style refers to the individuality and distinctiveness that an author brings to their writing through their tone, style, and choice of words. This includes the author's personality, attitude, and perspective that shine through in the text. It is what sets one writer apart from another and creates a connection between the author and the reader. Incorrect choices: A: The font and typeface used in the text - Font and typeface are related to formatting and presentation, not the author's voice. C: The specific grammar and punctuation rules followed - While grammar and punctuation contribute to writing style, they do not define the author's unique voice. D: The intended audience and purpose of the writing - Audience and purpose influence writing style but do not encompass the author's personal voice.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because it contains a comma splice. A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are incorrectly joined together with a comma without a conjunction or appropriate punctuation. In choice C, "He arrived late" and "the meeting had already started" are both independent clauses that should be separated by a semicolon or conjunction. Choices A, B, and D do not contain comma splices as they correctly use commas to separate items in a list, introduce additional information, or set off non-essential clauses.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because parentheses are used to provide additional, non-essential information in a sentence. In choice B, the phrase "released in 2022" is supplementary to the main idea of the sentence. It provides extra information about the movie without altering the main message. Choice A is incorrect because the phrase in parentheses is essential to the sentence's meaning, not supplementary. Choices C and D are incorrect because the information within the parentheses is not non-essential but crucial to understanding the sentence.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, Past perfect tense. In the sentence, "had left" is the main verb phrase, indicating an action completed before another past action. The past perfect tense is formed with "had" + past participle. Choice A, Present tense, is incorrect as the main verb is in the past perfect. Choice B, Past tense, is incorrect because the main verb is in the past perfect, not simple past. Choice C, Future tense, is also incorrect as there is no indication of a future action in the sentence.
