ati teas 7 english practice test - Nurselytic

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The sentence portrays intense emotions and agitation through actions like 'slammed' and the description 'booming with anger,' indicating a tone of agitation. The tone is not playful as it's intense and angry, not formal as it lacks restraint and is emotionally charged, and not melancholy as it conveys anger and not sadness.
Therefore, 'Agitated' is the most suitable choice to describe the tone.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The sentence contains two independent clauses that should be separated by a semicolon or period, not a comma. The incorrect punctuation is the period after 'outside.' A period or semicolon is needed to correctly separate the two independent clauses. The comma after 'children' and 'play' are correctly used to set off non-essential participial phrases.
Choice D is incorrect as there is a punctuation error in the sentence.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: '
To agree or understand each other.' The phrase 'to be on the same page' is an idiom that means to agree or understand each other. It implies being in sync or having a shared understanding with someone else.
Choice A, '
To be physically close,' is incorrect as the phrase does not refer to physical proximity.
Choice C, '
To be sharing the same goal,' is incorrect because while being on the same page may involve a shared goal, it primarily emphasizes agreement or mutual understanding.
Choice D, '
To be facing the same direction,' is incorrect as it does not capture the essence of mutual agreement or understanding conveyed by the idiom.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: An adverb modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. In this sentence, 'anxiously' describes how the patient 'waited'.
Therefore, the adverb in the sentence is 'anxiously'.

Choice A, 'waited', is a verb and not an adverb.
Choice C, 'doctor's', is a possessive noun and not an adverb.
Choice D, 'news', is a noun and not an adverb. The correct adverb that modifies the verb 'waited' in the sentence is 'anxiously'.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The word 'unscathed' means without harm or damage. The word 'scratch' shares the same root related to physical marks or damage, making it the correct choice. 'Category' and 'scar' do not have the same root as 'unscathed' and are not related to the concept of being unharmed, making them incorrect choices.
