ATI TEAS English Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
The patient was experiencing intraocular pressure. Based on the analysis of word parts, what is the meaning of 'intraocular' as used in the sentence above?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The term 'intraocular' is derived from 'intra-' meaning within and 'ocular' referring to the eyes. Therefore, 'intraocular' means within the eyes. Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the meaning of 'intraocular' based on the analysis of word parts.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is the plural form of the word 'chief'?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'chiefs.' 'Chief' follows the standard rule for forming the plural by adding an 's' at the end. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not follow the standard pluralization rule for the word 'chief.' 'Chieves,' 'chievs,' and 'chiefes' are not valid plural forms of 'chief.'
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following words is written in the correct plural form?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: styles.' 'Styles' is the correct plural form of 'style.' 'Oxes' in choice A is incorrect; the plural of 'ox' is 'oxen.' 'Monarchys' in choice C is incorrect; the correct plural form of 'monarchy' is 'monarchies.' 'Clutchs' in choice D is incorrect; the correct plural form of 'clutch' is 'clutches.' Therefore, 'styles' is the only word written in the correct plural form among the choices provided.
Question 4 of 5
Which sentence is punctuated correctly?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Choice C is the correct answer. The sentence is punctuated correctly with commas separating the city, state, and the rest of the sentence. In Choice A, there should be a comma after 'California' to correctly separate the city and state. Choice B lacks a comma after 'California,' creating a run-on sentence. Choice D incorrectly uses a comma before the year '2011,' which disrupts the flow of the sentence.
Question 5 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.
