ATI TEAS 7 English quizlet

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: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Personification. Personification is the literary device where human qualities are attributed to non-human entities. In this line, the sea is given the human ability to whisper and share secrets, which is not a literal action of the sea. Alliteration (A) is the repetition of consonant sounds, not present in this line. Onomatopoeia (C) is the use of words that imitate sounds, not relevant here. Hyperbole (D) is an exaggeration for emphasis, which is not evident in the given line. Therefore, the most fitting literary device in this context is personification.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: To worry about potential problems prematurely. This idiom implies not worrying about a situation until you actually face it, rather than fretting about it in advance. Choosing A is incorrect because it suggests dealing with a problem right away, which is the opposite of the idiom's meaning. B is incorrect as it implies detailed future planning, while the idiom emphasizes a more relaxed approach. Option D is incorrect because the idiom encourages facing challenges instead of avoiding them.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: The correct answer is C: studied. 'Studied' is the past tense form of the verb 'study' and can be pluralized to refer to multiple instances of studying. 'Studies' (A) is the third person singular present tense form, 'studying' (B) is the present participle form, and 'studier' (D) is a noun form referring to someone who studies, not the plural form of 'study'.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, "Agatha Christie." An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames or explains another noun in the sentence. In this case, "Agatha Christie" renames "author." It provides additional information about the author, specifying who the favorite author is. The other choices, A, C, and D, do not meet the definition of an appositive and do not rename or explain another noun in the sentence. Choice A, "favorite," is an adjective describing the author, not an appositive. Choice C, "many," is an adjective describing the number of novels, not an appositive. Choice D, "novels," is the object of the sentence, not an appositive.
