ATI TEAS English and Language Usage Questions

Question 1 of 5

Which of the following requires a citation?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because a direct quotation from a reference source is someone else's exact words and ideas, which need to be credited to the original author to avoid plagiarism. It is essential to cite the reference source to give proper credit and show where the information came from. In contrast, option A does not require a citation as it refers to things that are easily observed and considered common knowledge. Option B, a summary at the end of a project, typically does not need a citation if it is a summary of your own work. Option C, a personal experience, may not require a citation if it is your own personal experience and not borrowed from another source.

Question 2 of 5

The top-secret blueprints were for an intergalactic spaceship. Which of the following is the meaning of the prefix 'inter-' as used in the sentence above?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The prefix 'inter-' means "among" or "between." In this context, intergalactic means "between galaxies." The spaceship is designed to travel between different galaxies. Therefore, the correct answer is A. The other choices are incorrect because they do not convey the same meaning as the prefix 'inter-' in the given sentence. B: Below, C: Around, D: Above do not fit the context of the sentence, which specifically refers to traveling between galaxies.

Question 3 of 5

In which of the following situations is a citation needed?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because when a student quotes song lyrics to support his point, he is using someone else's creative work directly in his own work, which requires a citation to give credit to the original creator. This is necessary to avoid plagiarism and to acknowledge the source of the information. In contrast, choices A, B, and D do not necessarily require a citation: A is the professor's own work, B is the speaker's original creation, and D is a well-known fact that does not need to be attributed to a specific source.

Question 4 of 5

Which sentence is an example of passive voice?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because it follows the structure of passive voice: "subject + to be verb + past participle." In this sentence, "The tests were graded by the teacher," the subject (tests) is being acted upon by the teacher (the doer of the action). The other choices (A, C, D) are in active voice where the subject performs the action directly.

Question 5 of 5

Which of the following is an example of deliberate plagiarism?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because submitting a paper found on the internet without proper attribution is a clear case of deliberate plagiarism. The student is intentionally passing off someone else's work as their own. Choice A shows an attempt at paraphrasing, choice B is a case of improper citation, and choice D reflects a misunderstanding of common knowledge.
