ATI TEAS English Practice Test

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Let me know. A complete sentence must have a subject (Let) and a predicate (me know) to express a complete thought. In this case, the subject is "Let" and the predicate is "me know," making it a complete sentence. Explanation for why the other choices are incorrect: B: "On the subject of philosophy." - This is a prepositional phrase, not a complete sentence as it lacks a subject and predicate. C: "Depending on the type of books you like." - This is a dependent clause, not a complete sentence on its own. D: "Where there are lots of people." - This is a subordinate clause, not a complete sentence as it does not express a complete thought.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Sleepwalker. The word 'somnambulist' refers to a person who sleepwalks, as indicated by the context of waking up outside in pajamas at night. This term specifically describes individuals who engage in activities while asleep. The other choices are incorrect because they do not align with the context clues provided. A: Explorer and B: Magician are unrelated to sleepwalking, while C: Insomniac refers to someone who has difficulty sleeping, which does not fit the scenario described in the sentence.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Step 1: Identify the focus of the paragraph - training for a 5k race. Step 2: Sentence A is irrelevant as it talks about yoga, not running. Step 3: Sentences B, C, and D are all relevant to the theme of running and training. Step 4: Sentence A does not contribute to the main topic of running and training for a race. Step 5: Therefore, sentence A is the irrelevant choice compared to the other sentences.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Likely. An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb and usually ends in -ly. In the sentence, "She will likely arrive on time," the word "likely" modifies the verb "arrive," indicating the probability of her arrival. The other choices, B: Annoyed, C: Assigned, and D: Unnecessary, are all adjectives describing the subject or object of the sentence, not modifying a verb. Therefore, they are not adverbs.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Childlike. The suffix "-like" is added to the root word "child" to create the adjective "childlike." The suffix "-like" is commonly used to form adjectives indicating resemblance or similarity to the root word. The other choices, A: Created, B: Pointing, and D: Suburbanite, do not follow this pattern as their suffixes do not change the root words into adjectives. "Created" is a past participle, "Pointing" is a present participle, and "Suburbanite" is a noun.
