ATI TEAS English Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following choices is NOT an appropriate way to express an opinion in a formal debate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In a formal debate, it is essential to maintain a respectful and professional tone when expressing opinions. Choice D uses hyperbolic language like 'height of hypocrisy,' which is inappropriate for a formal setting. It is important to avoid personal attacks or extreme statements that can detract from the credibility of the argument. Choices A, B, and C present opinions in a more neutral and respectful manner, focusing on discussing the topic without resorting to emotional or accusatory language. Therefore, choice D is the correct answer as it does not align with the standards of formal debate etiquette.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following lists elements of the prewriting portion of the writing process?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Planning, brainstorming, outlining. During the prewriting phase of the writing process, it is essential to plan your writing, brainstorm ideas, and create an outline before moving on to drafting. Researching, referencing sources, and editing are typically part of the later stages of the writing process, not prewriting. Choices A, B, and D include elements that are more aligned with drafting and revising stages rather than prewriting.

Question 4 of 5
What are the five basic elements of the writing process?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Prewriting, drafting, conferencing, revision, editing. In the writing process, prewriting involves planning and brainstorming ideas, drafting is the stage where you put your ideas into writing, conferencing refers to seeking feedback or discussing the work, revision involves making changes to improve the content and structure, and editing focuses on correcting grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors. The other choices are incorrect because they either include elements that are not part of the standard writing process (such as peer-review and outlining) or they mix up the order of the stages (such as researching before prewriting).
Question 5 of 5
Julia is writing an essay about the influence of technology on interpersonal relationships. Which of the following sentences would NOT be a relevant supporting detail?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In an essay focusing on the impact of technology on interpersonal relationships, details about college students' study habits and homework workload are not directly related to the influence of technology on relationships. Choices A, C, and D are more relevant as they directly address the impact of technology, such as social media engagement, smartphone usage affecting conversations, and the comparison between TV-watching and brain activity during conversations.
