ATI TEAS 7 English quizlet

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 past participle of the verb 'lie' (to recline) is 'lain' because it follows the pattern of the verb conjugation for 'lie' (lie-lay-lain). This form is used when the action of lying down has already been completed. The other choices are incorrect: A (lied) is the past simple form, C (lay) is the past tense form, and D (lying) is the present participle form.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because it contains a comma splice. A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are incorrectly joined together with a comma without a conjunction or appropriate punctuation. In choice C, "He arrived late" and "the meeting had already started" are both independent clauses that should be separated by a semicolon or conjunction. Choices A, B, and D do not contain comma splices as they correctly use commas to separate items in a list, introduce additional information, or set off non-essential clauses.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct pronoun to replace "Sarah and me" in the sentence is "us." This is because "us" is the objective form of the pronoun, which is needed in this context. In the sentence, Jessica is the subject performing the action of inviting, so the pronoun should be in the objective case. The pronoun "we" is in the subjective case and does not fit the sentence structure. "Ours" is a possessive pronoun and does not work as a replacement here. "Myself" is a reflexive pronoun and is not appropriate in this context. Therefore, "us" is the correct choice.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The phrase 'a bold new world' is an example of a metaphor because it directly compares the idea of a new world to something bold without using 'like' or 'as'. Metaphors create vivid imagery and convey deeper meanings. It differs from a simile, which uses 'like' or 'as' for comparison. Hyperbole is an exaggeration not present in the phrase. An oxymoron combines contradictory terms, which is not the case here. Therefore, the correct answer is D: Metaphor.
