ATI TEAS 7 English quizlet

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: flagrant. The word 'riddled' implies that the errors are noticeable and widespread, suggesting they are obvious and inexcusable. 'Flagrant' fits this description as it means obvious and inexcusable. B: cursory means superficial, which doesn't convey the severity of the errors. C: innocuous means harmless, which contradicts the implication that the errors are problematic. D: meticulous means carefully detailed, which doesn't align with the idea of errors being present and widespread.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: flagrant. The word 'riddled' implies that the errors are noticeable and widespread, suggesting they are obvious and inexcusable. 'Flagrant' fits this description as it means obvious and inexcusable. B: cursory means superficial, which doesn't convey the severity of the errors. C: innocuous means harmless, which contradicts the implication that the errors are problematic. D: meticulous means carefully detailed, which doesn't align with the idea of errors being present and widespread.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: have. In the sentence, 'Neither... nor' is a correlative conjunction that connects two singular subjects (Michael and Sarah). When connected by 'nor', the verb should agree with the closer subject, which is 'Sarah'. Therefore, the plural pronoun 'have' is the correct form of the verb. A: 'has' is incorrect as it is singular and does not agree with the plural subjects. C: 'are having' is incorrect as it implies ongoing action, which is not suitable in this context. D: 'does have' is incorrect as it is singular and does not agree with the plural subjects.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Subordinate clause. This is because the clause "When the clock struck midnight" does not express a complete thought on its own and depends on the main clause "the magic began" to make sense. It functions as an adverbial clause, indicating the time when the magic began. The other choices are incorrect because: A) Main clause requires a complete thought which can stand alone, C) Appositive clause renames or explains a noun (there is no appositive construction here), and D) Noun clause functions as a noun (there is no noun clause in the given sentence).

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct punctuation for the sentence is D: "She asked me if I wanted to go to the movies with her." The correct answer uses a comma before the subordinate conjunction "if" to introduce the indirect question. This comma separates the main clause "She asked me" from the subordinate clause "if I wanted to go to the movies with her." A: Incorrect use of a comma after "me" disrupts the flow of the sentence. B: Incorrect use of a colon is unnecessary; a comma is more appropriate. C: Incorrect placement of commas interrupts the sentence structure and creates confusion.
