ati teas 7 english practice test - Nurselytic

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: '
To bite off more than one can chew' means to take on more than one can handle or to undertake a task exceeding one's capabilities. This idiom warns against overcommitting oneself and facing difficulties in managing the workload effectively.
Choice A, '
To be overly confident,' is incorrect as the idiom implies a situation of overestimating one's capacity rather than confidence.
Choice C, '
To be easily discouraged,' is not related to the idiom's meaning, which focuses on task difficulty rather than emotional response.
Choice D, '
To be meticulous in planning,' is not accurate as the idiom refers to the execution of tasks rather than the planning phase.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The term 'captivated' in the sentence indicates that the audience was completely engrossed and engaged by the speaker's compelling story. This implies that they were absorbed and highly interested in what was being presented.

Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'captivated' suggests a positive and attentive reaction from the audience rather than boredom, confusion, or disagreement.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The word 'growing' in the sentence 'He felt a growing sense of unease' is functioning as an adjective. It describes the sense of unease, indicating a characteristic of the sense rather than an action (verb), a person, place, thing, or idea (noun), or modifying a verb, an adjective, or another adverb (adverb).
Therefore, 'growing' is an adjective in this context.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is option B, 'I will have finished'. This choice correctly expresses a future event (finishing the project) that will be completed before another future point in time (next week). The future perfect tense 'will have finished' is used to show an action that will be completed before a specified future time.
Choice A, 'I will be finishing', is incorrect as it indicates an ongoing action that will still be in progress by next week, which is not the intended meaning.
Choice C, 'I am finishing', is incorrect as it indicates a present action that is ongoing, not a future event.
Choice D, 'I would finish', is incorrect as 'would' is used for hypothetical situations or polite requests, which is not suitable in this context of a future project completion.

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.
