ati teas 7 english practice test - Nurselytic

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The clause 'While the movie was playing' acts as an adverbial modifier because it describes the time when the action of 'I snuck out' occurred, making it an adverbial clause.
Choice A is correct as it is a subordinate clause that functions as an adverb to provide information about the time of the main action.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not serve as adverbial modifiers in the context of the sentence.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: 'Nonetheless' is the correct word to complete the sentence as it emphasizes the continuation of the concert despite the contrary circumstance. 'Nevertheless' and 'however' are synonyms and indicate contrast rather than continuity. '
Therefore' implies a conclusion or result, which is not fitting in this context.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'and.' 'And' is the most appropriate conjunction here as it simply adds information about her love for animals without implying cause or effect. It connects two independent clauses in a neutral way, indicating that she loves animals and also volunteers at the shelter. The other choices, 'because,' 'therefore,' and 'so,' suggest a cause-and-effect relationship between loving animals and volunteering at the shelter, which is not the intended meaning in this context.

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: C

Rationale: In the sentence 'She baked a delicious cake for the party,' the verb 'baked' is an action performed by the subject 'She.' The direct object is the recipient of the action, which in this case is 'cake.' It answers the question 'What did she bake?' making 'cake' the direct object in the sentence.
Choice A 'for the party' is a prepositional phrase indicating the purpose, not the direct object.
Choice B 'delicious' describes the cake but is not the direct object.
Choice D 'baked' is the verb itself, not the direct object receiving the action.
