ATI TEAS English and Language Usage Questions
Question 1 of 5
Select the context clue from the following sentence that helps you define the word 'emulate': Felicia always tried to emulate her big sister, so she would often imitate the way she spoke, moved, and dressed.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: imitate.' In the sentence, it is explicitly stated that Felicia would often imitate her big sister, which directly relates to the meaning of 'emulate' as to copy or imitate someone else. 'Tried' (choice
A) does not provide a direct connection to the definition of 'emulate.' 'Often' (choice
B) and 'way' (choice
D) are not directly associated with the act of imitating or copying, making them less relevant context clues for defining 'emulate.'
Question 2 of 5
Laura was stuck in traffic on her way to a concert and thought she would miss the concert. Which of the following options uses correct grammar to combine the sentences above for clarity?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Option C combines the ideas in a clear and logical manner by explaining that Laura was on her way to a concert, got stuck in traffic, and thought she would miss the concert. This choice maintains the correct sequence of events, highlighting the cause-effect relationship between being stuck in traffic and potentially missing the concert.
Choices A, B, and D either disrupt the logical sequence of events or introduce redundancy in the information provided, making them less effective in conveying the intended message.
Question 3 of 5
What is the correct order for the following sentence: 'yesterday she went to the store'?
Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer as it follows this standard order.
Choice B changes the order of the subject and object.

Therefore, choices B, C, and D are incorrect.
Question 4 of 5
Based on an examination of word parts, which of the following words means 'abnormality of movement'?

Therefore, 'Dyskinesia' means an abnormality of movement.
Choice B, 'Hyperkinesia,' is incorrect as 'hyper-' means excessive, not abnormal.

Choice D, 'Hypokinesia,' is incorrect as 'hypo-' means deficient, not abnormal.

Choice A, 'baby's' is correctly punctuated to show the bibs belong to the baby.
Choice B, 'Sarah's and Claire's business was thriving in its new location,' incorrectly uses an apostrophe before 'business,' making it possessive twice.
Choice D, 'A busy worker's best tool is a good plan,' correctly shows possession of the best tool by the busy worker.
