ATI TEAS English Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
The plane ride was terrible, and they got home three hours late: _______ they never made it to the wedding.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'consequently.' In this sentence, 'consequently' is used to show the result of their late arrival, leading to them missing the wedding. 'Although' (choice
A) is incorrect because it suggests a contrast rather than a cause-effect relationship. 'Conversely' (choice
B) is also incorrect as it indicates a contrasting idea. 'Unless' (choice
C) introduces a condition, which doesn't fit the context of the sentence.
Therefore, 'consequently' best connects the delay to missing the wedding.
Question 2 of 5
Which sentence does not need quotation marks because it is an indirect quotation?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: An indirect quotation does not require quotation marks as it paraphrases what was said without directly quoting it. Sentence B, 'John F. Kennedy announced plans to go to the moon,' is an example of an indirect quotation as it conveys the information without using the exact words spoken by Kennedy.
Choices A, C, and D directly quote the individuals and thus require quotation marks, making them incorrect answers.
Question 3 of 5
Based on the affixes, which of the following words could be defined as 'the study of humans'?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Anthropology.' This term is derived from the Greek words 'anthropos' meaning 'human' and 'logos' meaning 'study.'
Therefore, Anthropology refers to the study of humans.
Choice A, 'Biology,' is the study of living organisms, not specifically focused on humans.
Choice B, 'Philanthropy,' refers to the practice of giving and helping others.
Choice C, 'Anthropomorphism,' is the attribution of human characteristics to non-human entities.
Question 4 of 5
Select the meaning of the highlighted word in the sentence based on the context clues: If you wake up outside in your pajamas in the middle of the night, you may be a 'somnambulist'.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'Sleepwalker'. The word 'somnambulist' refers to a sleepwalker, as indicated by the context of waking up outside in pajamas in the middle of the night. A sleepwalker is someone who walks while asleep, and this matches the situation described in the sentence.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not align with the behavior of walking during sleep, which is characteristic of a somnambulist/sleepwalker.
Question 5 of 5
Which word in the following sentence is a slang term?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Digs.' In this context, 'digs' is a slang term that means 'likes' or 'enjoys.' The other choices are not slang terms. 'Classical' is a music genre, 'totally' is an adverb emphasizing 'jarring,' and 'jarring' describes something that is shocking or unsettling.
