ATI TEAS English Practice Test Questions

Question 1 of 5

In the sentence 'The very lively lady was riding a beautiful parade float,' what part of speech is 'lively'?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The word 'lively' in the sentence describes the noun 'lady,' indicating a characteristic or quality of the noun. This function aligns with that of an adjective, which modifies a noun or pronoun. An adverb modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb (eliminating choice B). 'Lively' is not acting as the main action of the sentence (eliminating choice A), nor is it referring to a person, place, thing, or idea (eliminating choice D). Therefore, the correct answer is C: Adjective.

Question 2 of 5

Which of the following examples from the paragraph about the Silk Road is a transition sentence?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because it introduces a contrast or shift in focus, indicating a transition in the paragraph. It shifts the discussion from the primary trade item (Chinese silk) to the broader significance of other trade items. Choice A provides background information, not a transition. Choice C merely provides additional information without transitioning the topic. Choice D is a straightforward statement about the Silk Road without signaling a transition. Therefore, B is the best example of a transition sentence.

Question 3 of 5

Which word in the following sentence is a slang term?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Digs. "Digs" is a slang term meaning a place to live. In this sentence, "I love my new digs," "digs" is used informally. "Classical" (B) is a standard English word referring to traditional or high-quality music. "Totally" (C) is an adverb commonly used in informal speech but not exclusively slang. "Jarring" (D) means shocking or disturbing, and though it may not be as casual as "digs," it is not a slang term.

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 sentence does not need quotation marks because it is an indirect quotation?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because it is a statement reporting what John F. Kennedy said without directly quoting him. Indirect quotations do not require quotation marks. In contrast, choices A, C, and D directly quote the individuals, so they require quotation marks.
