ATI TEAS 7 English quizlet

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: running. "Running" is the present participle of the verb 'run' because it shows the continuous action of the athlete during the race. The present participle is formed by adding "-ing" to the base form of the verb. In this sentence, "ran" is the past tense, "runs" is the present tense, and "runner" is a noun, not a verb form. Therefore, "running" is the correct present participle form in this context.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: "I have been working on this project since morning." This sentence uses the present perfect continuous tense correctly because it indicates an action that started in the past (working on the project since morning) and is still ongoing. The structure "have been working" is the present perfect continuous tense, formed by "have/has + been + present participle." Choice B is incorrect as it uses the present perfect tense ("has finished"), indicating a completed action, not an ongoing one. Choice C is incorrect as it uses the future continuous tense ("will be leaving"), indicating a future action. Choice D is incorrect as it uses the past perfect continuous tense ("had been living"), indicating a past action that continued up to a point in the past.

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: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because it correctly uses the past subjunctive mood to express a wish about a past event ("I wish I could have gone to the beach"). The use of "could have gone" in this sentence indicates a desire for a past action that did not happen. In contrast, choices B, C, and D do not use the subjunctive mood correctly. Choice B uses the past subjunctive "were" for a hypothetical situation (If I were you), but it's not expressing a wish. Choice C uses the simple present "stay" after "insisted," which is incorrect for the subjunctive mood. Choice D does not contain any subjunctive mood construction; it simply describes a situation without any hypothetical or wishful element.
