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

The hike became increasingly difficult as we got closer to the top of the mountain. Which of the following parts of speech is 'increasingly' as used in the sentence above?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Adverb. 'Increasingly' modifies the adjective 'difficult,' describing the degree to which the difficulty of the hike was growing. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. In this sentence, 'increasingly' is modifying the adjective 'difficult,' so it functions as an adverb. A: Adjective - Incorrect. Adjectives modify nouns or pronouns, not other adjectives. B: Interjection - Incorrect. Interjections are words used to express emotions or sentiments, not to modify other parts of speech. C: Verb - Incorrect. 'Increasingly' is not describing an action or state of being, so it is not functioning as a verb.

Question 3 of 5

Which of the following is an example of a simple sentence?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because it is a simple sentence that consists of a single independent clause expressing a complete thought ("Termites are very industrious insects"). It has a subject (termites) and a predicate (are very industrious insects). A is incorrect because it is a dependent clause and does not express a complete thought. C is incorrect because it is a compound sentence with two independent clauses connected by "and." D is incorrect because it is a complex sentence with a dependent clause ("Because termites are insects") and an independent clause.

Question 4 of 5

Which of the following sentences correctly uses subject-verb agreement?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because it maintains subject-verb agreement throughout the sentence. "The lead scientist is" matches the singular subject "The lead scientist," and "she is" matches the singular pronoun "she." In contrast, A uses "all scientists" with the singular verb "does," which is incorrect. Choice C has a subject-verb disagreement with "she is" and "does the research." Choice D also has a subject-verb disagreement with "every scientist" and "does the research." Therefore, B is the correct choice as it maintains consistency in subject-verb agreement.

Question 5 of 5

Which sentence demonstrates correct use of the apostrophe?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: "The dog's tail wagged." Here's the rationale: 1. The apostrophe in "dog's" indicates possession, showing that the tail belongs to the dog. 2. The sentence structure is possessive, correctly using the apostrophe before the 's'. 3. Options A, B, and D incorrectly use the apostrophe for contraction instead of possession, making them grammatically incorrect.
