ATI TEAS 7 English quizlet

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because parentheses are used to provide additional, non-essential information in a sentence. In choice B, the phrase "released in 2022" is supplementary to the main idea of the sentence. It provides extra information about the movie without altering the main message. Choice A is incorrect because the phrase in parentheses is essential to the sentence's meaning, not supplementary. Choices C and D are incorrect because the information within the parentheses is not non-essential but crucial to understanding the sentence.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The phrase 'a bold new world' is an example of a metaphor because it directly compares the idea of a new world to something bold without using 'like' or 'as'. Metaphors create vivid imagery and convey deeper meanings. It differs from a simile, which uses 'like' or 'as' for comparison. Hyperbole is an exaggeration not present in the phrase. An oxymoron combines contradictory terms, which is not the case here. Therefore, the correct answer is D: Metaphor.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Misplaced modifier. In the sentence, "except for me" is a modifier that should be placed closer to the word it modifies, "Everyone." This misplaced modifier creates confusion as it seems to suggest that only the speaker doesn't know the culprit, while everyone else does. This error results in unclear or illogical meaning. A: Subject-verb agreement is not the issue in this sentence as the subject "Everyone" agrees with the verb "knew." C: Dangling participle is not the error here, as there is no participial phrase without a clear subject in the sentence. D: Pronoun-antecedent agreement is not the error as there is no pronoun in the sentence that lacks a clear antecedent.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Personification. Personification is the literary device where human characteristics are attributed to non-human entities. In the phrase 'the lion's roar thundered across the savanna,' the lion's roar, an inanimate object, is given the human quality of thundering, which is an action typically associated with humans. This personification creates a vivid image of the lion's powerful roar. Simile (A) involves comparing two unlike things using 'like' or 'as,' which is not present in the phrase. Metaphor (B) directly states one thing is another, which is not the case here. Hyperbole (C) is an exaggeration, and there is no extreme exaggeration in the phrase.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: "will have been working on." This choice uses the future perfect continuous tense to indicate an action that will be ongoing until a specific point in the future. In this case, it shows that by next month, she will have spent a year working on the project. The other choices are incorrect because: B: "will work on" implies a future action, not a duration of time. C: "has been working on" uses the present perfect continuous tense, which does not convey the future timeframe. D: "had worked on" is in the past perfect tense, indicating an action completed before another past action, which is not suitable in this context.
