ATI TEAS Version 7-English and Language Usage

Which of the following is a step in the proofreading process?

Option B is the correct sentence, which reads "The building's height was exceeded by its width." This sentence employs standard English spelling, where "exceeded" is spelled correctly, and the apostrophe in "it's" is incorrect, as it should be "its" without an apostrophe.

A complete sentence must have a subject and a predicate that expresses a complete thought. Option B, "I walked all three dogs around the park this morning," is a complete sentence because it has a subject ("I") and a predicate ("walked all three dogs around the park this morning") that expresses a complete thought.

These prefixes mean "not" or "opposite of." "Mis-" means "wrongly" (like in "misunderstand"), so it does not fit.

The given sentences present a logical sequence of events, starting with the dog and owner being asleep in their home, followed bythe intruder breaking into the house, the dog biting the intruder who was attacking the owner, and finally, the statement about the dog being a man's best friend.

This order creates a clear and coherent story.

The concluding sentence of a paragraph serves to sum up the main idea or point that has been discussed in the paragraph. It provides closure to the paragraph and helps transition to the next one. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

The word that defines "subterranean" based on the prefix "sub-" is B. Underground.

"Ran" is the correct past tense of "run." The word "runned" is incorrect, "running" is the present participle, and "rant" is a different word.

The correct use of "fewer" and "less" is important in proper grammar and usage. "Fewer" is used when referring to items that can be counted, while "less" is used for quantities that cannot be counted. In this case, "people" is a countable noun, so "fewer" is the correct word to use. Additionally, "effect" is the correct noun to use in this sentence, as it refers to the result or consequence of the action, while "affect" is a verb meaning to influence or have an impact on.

1, 3, 4, 2, 5.

This order beginspresents the initial experiments, thenthe discovery, after which it discusses the research project,introduces the beliefand ends with the classification. While it provides the context for the belief, it starts with the discovery, which may confuse the reader as it doesn't establish the topic first.

The paragraph is as follows:

"Initially, we constructed experiments that explored new relationships among six major systems of the human body: circulatory, digestive, muscular, nervous, reproductive, and respiratory. Then, we discovered, through a series of curious events and calculations, that these systems were all intricately involved in a kind of psychic economy. Our experimental research project has focused on what we call the Psycho-Physical Performance Scale. We believe that this work will revolutionize our understanding of human behavior. Therefore, we ultimately chose to classify different triggers of human actions and productions according to these new relationships."

Proofreading is the final step, where you check for spelling and grammar mistakes. The other steps happen earlier in the writing process.
