ATI TEAS English Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Identify the sentence that contains a dependent clause.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it contains a dependent clause "after it ate." A dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence and relies on an independent clause to form a complete thought. In this case, "after it ate" does not express a complete idea on its own and depends on the independent clause "The cat sat on the mat" to make sense. Choices A, C, and D do not contain dependent clauses. Choice A is a simple sentence with no dependent clause. Choice C is a simple future tense sentence without a dependent clause. Choice D is a present continuous sentence without a dependent clause. Therefore, the correct answer is B as it clearly demonstrates the presence of a dependent clause within the sentence structure.
Question 2 of 5
The patient was experiencing intraocular pressure. Based on the analysis of word parts, what is the meaning of 'intraocular' as used in the sentence above?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Within the eyes. "Intra-" means within or inside, and "ocular" refers to the eyes. Therefore, "intraocular" means within the eyes. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the location of the pressure in relation to the eyes. "Between the eyes," "above the eyes," and "below the eyes" do not convey the idea of the pressure being inside the eyes, as "intraocular" does.
Question 3 of 5
Select a verb that correctly completes the following sentence: ____________ not worry about it.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Do. In the sentence "__________ not worry about it," the verb should be in the base form to match the negation "not." "Do" is the correct base form of the verb that agrees with the subject "you." Option A (Is) is incorrect as it requires the base form of the verb after "is," not the infinitive form. Option C (You) is incorrect as it is not a verb. Option D (Was) is incorrect as it is the past tense form of the verb and does not match the present tense context of the sentence. Therefore, "Do" is the correct choice to maintain subject-verb agreement and tense consistency.
Question 4 of 5
Which word in the following sentence is an adverb?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Likely. An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb and usually ends in -ly. In the sentence, "She will likely arrive on time," the word "likely" modifies the verb "arrive," indicating the probability of her arrival. The other choices, B: Annoyed, C: Assigned, and D: Unnecessary, are all adjectives describing the subject or object of the sentence, not modifying a verb. Therefore, they are not adverbs.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following punctuation marks correctly completes the sentence below? "She bought several items for the trip____ a tent, a sleeping bag, and a flashlight."
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "She bought several items for the trip: a tent, a sleeping bag, and a flashlight." In this case, the colon (:) is used to introduce a list or an explanation, making it the appropriate punctuation mark to complete the sentence. The colon signals that a list of items is coming up, which is the intended meaning in this context. A (semicolon) is incorrect because it is used to connect closely related independent clauses, which is not the case here. C (comma) is incorrect as it is not strong enough to separate the items in the list. D (period) is incorrect because it would create two separate sentences rather than connecting the items in a list.
