ATI TEAS 7 English practice test

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The clause 'While the movie was playing' acts as an adverbial modifier because it describes the time when the action of 'I snuck out' occurred, making it an adverbial clause. Choice A is correct as it is a subordinate clause that functions as an adverb to provide information about the time of the main action. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not serve as adverbial modifiers in the context of the sentence.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: her.' Pronouns replace nouns. In this sentence, 'her' is a pronoun that replaces a specific female person's name, indicating ownership of the homework. Pronouns like 'her,' 'he,' 'it,' and 'they' are commonly used to avoid repetition of nouns and make sentences less repetitive and more concise. Choices A, B, and D are not pronouns. 'Quickly' and 'before' are adverbs, while 'finished' is a verb. Therefore, they do not replace nouns and cannot function as pronouns in this context.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In this sentence, 'results' is the direct object of the verb 'awaited,' functioning as a noun. Hence, option B, 'Noun,' is correct. The students were eagerly waiting for what? The results - which makes 'results' a noun in this context. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. 'Results' is not describing a verb, an adjective, or an adverb in the sentence; it is the object of the students' anticipation, indicating a noun.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The past tense of the verb 'discover' is 'discovered.' In this case, the scientist already found a new species of butterfly, indicating a past action. 'Discovered' is the correct past tense form of 'discover.' The other options do not represent the past tense form of the verb. 'Discovers' is present tense, 'discovering' is present participle, and 'discovery' is a noun, not a verb tense.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. The word 'circumstance' is misspelled in the given choices. 'Accommodate,' 'acquiesce,' and 'indelible' are spelled correctly. It is important to pay attention to the spelling of words to ensure clear and accurate communication. 'Circumstance' is a common word, but in this context, it is intentionally misspelled to test your attention to detail.
