ATI TEAS 7 English quizlet

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 correct answer is D, Past perfect tense. In the sentence, "had left" is the main verb phrase, indicating an action completed before another past action. The past perfect tense is formed with "had" + past participle. Choice A, Present tense, is incorrect as the main verb is in the past perfect. Choice B, Past tense, is incorrect because the main verb is in the past perfect, not simple past. Choice C, Future tense, is also incorrect as there is no indication of a future action in the sentence.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because it asks a question and seeks information. Interrogative sentences are used to inquire or request clarification. In this case, "What is your favorite color?" directly asks for a specific response. Choices A, C, and D are not interrogative as they do not pose a question or seek information. A is a statement, C is a command, and D is a declarative sentence.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Metaphor. A metaphor directly compares two unlike things without using "like" or "as." In the statement, "Her laughter was music to my ears," the comparison between laughter and music is direct and does not use "like" or "as." Choice B: Simile uses "like" or "as" in the comparison, which is not present in the statement. Choice C: Hyperbole involves exaggeration for emphasis, which is not evident in the statement. Choice D: Personification attributes human characteristics to non-human things, but in the statement, laughter is not given human qualities.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: colorful. An adjective is a word that describes or modifies a noun or pronoun. In this sentence, "colorful" describes the sunset, specifying its appearance. The other choices (A: sunset, B: with, D: painted) do not function as adjectives. "Sunset" is a noun, "with" is a preposition, and "painted" is a verb. Therefore, "colorful" is the only word that fits the criteria of being an adjective in this context.
