ATI TEAS English and Language Usage Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following requires a citation?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. A direct quotation from a reference source always requires a citation to give credit to the original author. Choices A, B, and C do not necessarily require citations. Choice A refers to information that is common knowledge or easily observed, which does not need a citation. Choice B pertains to summarizing information in one's own words, which should be attributed to the original source but does not require a direct citation. Choice C involves sharing a personal experience, which does not require a citation unless it includes specific data or information that needs to be attributed to a source.
Question 2 of 5
Based on an examination of word parts, which of the following words means 'abnormality of movement'?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Dyskinesia.' By breaking down the word parts, 'dys-' means difficult or abnormal, and '-kinesia' refers to movement. Therefore, 'Dyskinesia' means an abnormality of movement. Choice B, 'Hyperkinesia,' is incorrect as 'hyper-' means excessive, not abnormal. Choice C, 'Akinesia,' is incorrect as 'a-' means without, not abnormal. Choice D, 'Hypokinesia,' is incorrect as 'hypo-' means deficient, not abnormal.
Question 3 of 5
Xan was worried about the epidemic she heard about on the news. In the word 'epidemic,' the prefix 'epi-' most closely means:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: On.' The prefix 'epi-' means 'on' or 'upon,' as seen in the word 'epidemic.' An epidemic refers to a situation where a disease spreads rapidly and affects many people. Choice 'A: Badly' is incorrect as it does not accurately represent the meaning of the prefix 'epi-.' Choices 'C: A lot' and 'D: A little' are also incorrect as they are not related to the prefix 'epi-' in the context of the word 'epidemic.'
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following is an example of deliberate plagiarism?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Submitting a paper found on the internet as one's own work is a clear example of deliberate plagiarism. Choice A is not deliberate plagiarism as the student intends to paraphrase the source, although it may still be considered plagiarism if not properly cited. Choice B is a form of plagiarism known as improper citation but does not involve deliberate intent to pass off someone else's work as one's own. Choice D is also a form of plagiarism known as inadequate citation or failure to attribute, but it does not constitute deliberate plagiarism as the writer's intention is not to deceive but rather a failure in acknowledging sources properly.
Question 5 of 5

Choice A, a bar graph, is a graphical representation of data typically used to compare quantities. Choice B, a citation, is a reference to a source used in writing to give credit.
