ATI TEAS 7 English quizlet

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: "ouch." An interjection is a word or phrase used to express strong emotion or sudden feeling. In this sentence, "ouch" is used to convey pain, making it the interjection. The other choices, A, B, and D, do not serve the same purpose and are not interjections. "Table" and "leg" are nouns, while "stubbed" is a verb. Therefore, "ouch" is the correct interjection in the sentence.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer, D, is the best way to revise the sentence because it maintains the original meaning and conveys the image effectively. It correctly shows that tears are causing her eyes to glisten in the moonlight. Choice A incorrectly suggests that the tears are physically located in the moonlight. Choice B reverses the relationship between tears and eyes. Choice C incorrectly places the moonlight inside her eyes.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct punctuation for the sentence is D: "She asked me if I wanted to go to the movies with her." The correct answer uses a comma before the subordinate conjunction "if" to introduce the indirect question. This comma separates the main clause "She asked me" from the subordinate clause "if I wanted to go to the movies with her." A: Incorrect use of a comma after "me" disrupts the flow of the sentence. B: Incorrect use of a colon is unnecessary; a comma is more appropriate. C: Incorrect placement of commas interrupts the sentence structure and creates confusion.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Subordinate clause. In the sentence, "While the rain poured" is a dependent clause that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It is introduced by the subordinating conjunction 'While' indicating a time relationship. The main clause is "they huddled inside for warmth," which can stand alone as a complete sentence. The other choices are incorrect because: A: Main clause - The main clause is the independent clause that expresses a complete thought. C: Appositive clause - An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames or explains another noun in the sentence. D: Noun clause - A noun clause functions as a noun in a sentence and can act as a subject, object, or complement.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The sentence 'Wow, what a beautiful sunset!' is an exclamatory sentence because it expresses strong emotion or excitement. It conveys the speaker's amazement at the beauty of the sunset. Exclamatory sentences typically end with an exclamation mark and are used to show feelings. Rationale: 1. The presence of the exclamation mark indicates strong emotion. 2. The word 'Wow' is an interjection expressing surprise or admiration. 3. The sentence is not a question (interrogative), statement (declarative), or command (imperative). Summary: - A (Interrogative sentence): Not correct as there is no question being asked. - B (Declarative sentence): Not correct as it does not make a statement or provide information. - D (Imperative sentence): Not correct as it does not give a command or instruction.
