ATI TEAS English Practice Test

1. Select the meaning of the highlighted word in the sentence based on the context clues: If you wake up outside in your pajamas in the middle of the night, you may be a 'somnambulist'.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'Sleepwalker'. The word 'somnambulist' refers to a sleepwalker, as indicated by the context of waking up outside in pajamas in the middle of the night. A sleepwalker is someone who walks while asleep, and this matches the situation described in the sentence. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not align with the behavior of walking during sleep, which is characteristic of a somnambulist/sleepwalker.

2. Which sentence demonstrates correct use of the apostrophe?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Choice C, 'The dog's tail wagged,' is the correct use of the apostrophe to show possession. In this sentence, the apostrophe is used correctly to indicate that the tail belongs to the dog. Choice A is incorrect as 'it's' is a contraction of 'it is' or 'it has,' not possessive. Choice B is also incorrect as 'Its' should be 'It's' to mean 'It is' or 'It has.' Choice D is incorrect as 'Its'' is grammatically incorrect; the correct form would be 'It's' if it were a contraction or 'Its' if it indicated possession without an apostrophe.

3. 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.

4. Which of the following defines the word 'unilateral'?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Performed by one person.' 'Unilateral' means something done by one person or group without the agreement of another. Choice B is incorrect as it suggests the opposite of what 'unilateral' means. Choice C is incorrect as it does not capture the essence of 'unilateral.' Choice D is incorrect as it is not directly related to the definition of 'unilateral.'

5. Which word in the following sentence is an adverb?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Likely.' An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. In this sentence, 'likely' is an adverb that modifies the verb 'annoyed,' expressing the probability or likelihood of the action. The other choices, 'B: Annoyed,' 'C: Assigned,' and 'D: Unnecessary,' are not adverbs. 'Annoyed' is a past tense verb, 'Assigned' is a past tense verb, and 'Unnecessary' is an adjective describing the type of busy work assigned. Therefore, 'A: Likely' is the only adverb in the sentence.
