ATI TEAS 7 English quizlet

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Be creative and find new solutions. "Think outside the box" encourages individuals to think creatively and explore unconventional ideas to solve problems. This involves breaking away from traditional thinking and considering innovative approaches. Choice A is incorrect because it contradicts the idea of thinking creatively. Choice C is incorrect as it goes against the notion of challenging traditional ideas. Choice D is incorrect as making mistakes can be a part of the creative process and should not be avoided when trying to come up with new solutions.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The predicate in a sentence tells us what the subject is doing or what is being done to the subject. In the sentence "The children built a sandcastle on the beach," the subject is "The children." The action word that describes what the subject is doing is "built." Therefore, "built a sandcastle" is the predicate. Explanation: A: "on the beach" is a prepositional phrase and not the predicate. C: "children" is the subject of the sentence, not the predicate. D: "the" is an article and not part of the predicate. In summary, the correct answer is B because it contains the action word that describes what the subject is doing.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct punctuation for the sentence is D: "She asked me if I wanted to go to the movies with her." The correct answer uses a comma before the subordinate conjunction "if" to introduce the indirect question. This comma separates the main clause "She asked me" from the subordinate clause "if I wanted to go to the movies with her." A: Incorrect use of a comma after "me" disrupts the flow of the sentence. B: Incorrect use of a colon is unnecessary; a comma is more appropriate. C: Incorrect placement of commas interrupts the sentence structure and creates confusion.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer, D, is the best way to revise the sentence because it maintains the original meaning and conveys the image effectively. It correctly shows that tears are causing her eyes to glisten in the moonlight. Choice A incorrectly suggests that the tears are physically located in the moonlight. Choice B reverses the relationship between tears and eyes. Choice C incorrectly places the moonlight inside her eyes.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because "they" is used correctly as a plural pronoun referring to Sarah and John. The subject of the sentence is plural, so the pronoun 'they' matches in number. In choice A, "They is" is grammatically incorrect as 'is' is singular. In choice C, "they needs" is incorrect as 'needs' does not agree with the plural pronoun. In choice D, "They enjoys" is incorrect as 'enjoys' is singular and does not match the plural pronoun 'they'. In summary, the incorrect choices have issues with subject-verb agreement, making them grammatically incorrect.
