ATI TEAS English Practice Test Questions

Question 1 of 5

Which word best completes the sentence: 'The students _______ finished their exams.'

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In the sentence, 'The students' is referring to a plural subject. Since 'students' is plural, the correct verb should also be plural. 'Have' is the correct verb form for the plural subject 'students' in this sentence. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'has' and 'is' are singular verbs, while 'was' is past tense and does not agree with the present tense of 'finished.' Therefore, the correct choice is B: 'have.'

Question 2 of 5

The hike became increasingly difficult as we got closer to the top of the mountain. Which of the following parts of speech is 'increasingly' as used in the sentence above?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, 'increasingly' is functioning as an adverb. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs to describe the manner, degree, or frequency of an action. In this case, 'increasingly' describes how the difficulty of the hike was growing as we approached the mountain top. Choice A, 'Adjective,' is incorrect as adjectives modify nouns or pronouns, not verbs. Choice B, 'Interjection,' is also incorrect because interjections are words used to express strong emotions or sentiments, not to describe actions or qualities. Choice C, 'Verb,' is incorrect as 'increasingly' is not a verb; it does not express an action or state of being.

Question 3 of 5

A.J. wrote an essay about the Civil War, making sure to include the vital information of who, what, where, when, and why. His teacher commended him on his thorough research.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Supporting details. Supporting details are specific information that backs up the main points in an essay, such as the who, what, where, when, and why in A.J.'s essay about the Civil War. In this case, A.J. included crucial facts and explanations to support his main arguments. Choice A, 'Emphasis paragraph,' does not directly relate to providing specific information like supporting details do. Choice C, 'Topic sentence,' introduces the main idea of a paragraph, not the specific supporting information. Choice D, 'Transitions,' are used to connect ideas and paragraphs smoothly, but they do not provide the specific information needed to support the main points in an essay.

Question 4 of 5

The tone of a text is ____________ if the words say the opposite of what they really mean.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: ironic.' In literature, irony is when there is a contrast between what is said and what is meant. It is a technique used to convey humor, sarcasm, or to emphasize a point indirectly. 'Earnest' (choice B) refers to being sincere or genuine, which is the opposite of what the question is describing. 'Confused' (choice C) does not accurately capture the concept of words saying the opposite of what they mean. 'Unambiguous' (choice D) means clear and not open to interpretation, which is the opposite of a situation where words have a hidden or opposite meaning.

Question 5 of 5

Select the correct verbs to complete the following sentences: Where _________ everyone? What ___________ they doing?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'is, are'. 'Where is everyone?' requires the singular verb 'is' to agree with 'everyone'. 'What are they doing?' requires the plural verb 'are' to match the plural subject 'they'. Option A 'is, is', does not provide correct subject-verb agreement in the second sentence. Option C 'are, is' and Option D 'are, are' do not maintain consistent subject-verb agreement within the sentences.
