ATI TEAS English Practice Test Questions
Question 1 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 2 of 5
The old clock hadn't worked in years, and _____ Ally finally decided to take it off the wall. Which of the following transition words or phrases is most appropriate to complete the sentence?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'as a result.' This transition word is most suitable in this context as it indicates a logical consequence. The old clock not working for years led to Ally deciding to take it off the wall. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. 'Conversely' suggests a contrast, 'then again' implies reconsideration or a contrasting point, and 'similarly' indicates a comparison, none of which align with the cause-and-effect relationship presented in the sentence.
Question 3 of 5
Read the following passage and answer the question: The thesis of this paper will be on the development of an experiment designed to detect flaws in how a golf ball is hit. Sometimes it can be hit perfectly, but sometimes it can be a bust. Based on the language in the passage, which of the following scenarios is correct?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The passage indicates that the writer is a student writing a first draft of a paper. The language used in the passage is informal and lacks precision, suggesting it is not written by a professional in a business environment or a researcher for a scientific journal. The focus on experimenting with hitting a golf ball also aligns more with a student exploring a topic rather than an established author of literature.

Choice C is incorrect as there is no indication that the writer is a student or in an academic setting. Choice D is incorrect as the content of the passage does not align with literature or creative writing.
