ATI TEAS English Questions

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The word 'exhaustive' is describing the nature of the inquiry, making it an adjective. Adjectives modify nouns or pronouns by providing more information about them. In this sentence, 'exhaustive' describes the type of inquiry conducted by the investigators. The word 'exhaustive' is not a noun, as it does not represent a person, place, thing, or idea; not a verb, as it does not show an action or state of being; and not an adverb, as it does not modify a verb, adjective, or another adverb. Therefore, the correct answer is D: Adjective.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The word 'fresh' in the sentence is describing the noun 'approach,' indicating a quality or attribute of the noun. Therefore, 'fresh' is functioning as an adjective in this context. Adjectives modify and describe nouns or pronouns. In contrast, if 'fresh' was a noun, it would be the subject or object of the sentence. If it was a verb, it would indicate an action. As an adverb, it would modify a verb, adjective, or another adverb, which is not the case here. Thus, the correct answer is D (Adjective).

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because the sentence is already using the possessive form correctly with "Black Panther Party's approach." Options B, C, and D are redundant as they all add "Party's" after "Black Panther Party" which is unnecessary. The possessive form is indicated by the apostrophe followed by "s" after the noun, in this case, "Black Panther Party." Adding "Party's" again in the options does not enhance the sentence structure or clarify the meaning. Option A maintains clarity and conciseness by correctly using the possessive form without unnecessary repetition.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Step-by-step rationale: 1. "Was another activist group that formed" clarifies the comparison between BPP and NAACP. 2. Choice A (NO CHANGE) doesn't specify the formation of BPP. 3. Choice C ("had a lot of members that") introduces unnecessary information. 4. Choice D ("was another school that") changes the meaning entirely. Summary: Choice B is correct as it maintains the clarity and comparison between BPP and NAACP. Choices A, C, and D introduce errors or irrelevant information.
