ATI Grammar Practice Test 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Choose the correct word: The nurse gave the medication to ____ patient was in pain.
- who (Correct answer)
- whom
- which
- whose
Correct answer: who
"Who" is the subject of the verb "was," so it is correct here.
Question 2: Which sentence uses the apostrophe correctly?
- The patients chart is updated.
- The patient's chart is updated. (Correct answer)
- The patients' chart's are updated.
- The patient's' chart is updated.
Correct answer: The patient's chart is updated.
A singular possessive adds apostrophe + s, so "patient's" is correct.
Question 3: Select the correct verb: Neither the doctor nor the nurses ____ available right now.
- is
- are (Correct answer)
- was
- be
Correct answer: are
With "neither/nor," the verb agrees with the nearer subject "nurses," so "are" is correct.
Question 4: Which word is spelled correctly?
- recieve
- receive (Correct answer)
- receeve
- receve
Correct answer: receive
Following the "i before e except after c" rule, "receive" is correct.
Question 5: Choose the correct pronoun: Between you and ____, the test was difficult.
- I
- me (Correct answer)
- myself
- mine
Correct answer: me
After the preposition "between," the objective pronoun "me" is required.
Question 6: Which sentence is grammatically correct?
- She don't have her ID.
- She doesn't has her ID.
- She doesn't have her ID. (Correct answer)
- She not have her ID.
Correct answer: She doesn't have her ID.
The singular subject "she" takes "doesn't have," which is correct.
Question 7: Identify the correctly punctuated sentence.
- I studied hard, however I failed.
- I studied hard; however, I failed. (Correct answer)
- I studied hard however, I failed.
- I studied hard, however, I failed.
Correct answer: I studied hard; however, I failed.
A semicolon before and comma after "however" correctly joins two independent clauses.
