ATI TEAS English Practice Test
1. If all of the following sentences appeared in the same paragraph, which sentence would be irrelevant?
- A. I had been doing yoga at least three times a week for the past year.
- B. At first, I walked and ran, though really it was more walking than running.
- C. I had never run a 5k race before, but I decided to try and gave myself six weeks to train for it.
- D. Each day I was able to run a bit further and a bit faster.
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The sentence about doing yoga is irrelevant to the topic of training for a 5k race. The focus of the paragraph is on the process of preparing for the race through running and training, making sentence A unrelated as it discusses a different physical activity.
2. Which sentence is punctuated correctly?
- A. One of my favorite places to visit is San Francisco, California, and I'll never forget my trip there from June 2011.
- B. One of my favorite places to visit is San Francisco, California, and I'll never forget my trip there from June 2011.
- C. One of my favorite places to visit is San Francisco, California, and I'll never forget my trip there from June 2011.
- D. One of my favorite places to visit is San Francisco, California, and I'll never forget my trip there from June, 2011.
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Choice C is the correct answer. The sentence is punctuated correctly with commas separating the city, state, and the rest of the sentence. In Choice A, there should be a comma after 'California' to correctly separate the city and state. Choice B lacks a comma after 'California,' creating a run-on sentence. Choice D incorrectly uses a comma before the year '2011,' which disrupts the flow of the sentence.
3. Be sure to prepare for an interview, including for an internship. Read any materials sent to you, and practice answering questions out loud so that you're less nervous during the actual interview. Be on time, dress appropriately for the type of job you're interviewing for, and thank the interviewers for interviewing you even if the interview doesn't go as well as you hope. Which of the following styles of writing is illustrated in the passage?
- A. Formal
- B. Informal
- C. Colloquial
- D. Slang
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B - Informal.' The passage provides practical advice in a casual and conversational tone, making it suitable for informal writing. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. 'Formal' writing would be more structured and sophisticated, often used in professional or academic settings. 'Colloquial' writing involves informal, everyday language specific to a particular region or group, which is not the case here. 'Slang' is informal language that is more casual and may not be appropriate for professional advice like in the given passage.
4. Which of the following makes a correction to an error in this sentence: The family sprinted through the airport, worryed they would miss their flight?
- A. 'family' should be 'families'
- B. 'worryed' should be 'worried'
- C. 'airport' should be 'airport'
- D. 'their' should be 'there'
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The error in the sentence lies in the misspelling of 'worryed,' which should be corrected to 'worried.' This choice addresses the grammatical mistake in the sentence. Choice A ('families') is incorrect as the sentence refers to a singular 'family.' Choice C ('airport' should be 'airport') is grammatically incorrect. Choice D ('their' should be 'there') is also incorrect; 'there' is used to indicate a place, while 'their' shows possession, neither of which is the error in the original sentence.
5. Identify the adverb in the sentence: 'She quickly finished her homework.'
- A. She
- B. Finished
- C. Quickly
- D. Homework
Correct answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Quickly.' Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. In this sentence, 'quickly' describes how she finished her homework. Choice A 'She' is a pronoun, choice B 'Finished' is the verb, and choice D 'Homework' is a noun, making them incorrect choices for adverbs.
