TEAS Test English Questions

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Suprarenal. "Supra-" means above, and "renal" refers to the kidney. Therefore, "suprarenal" means above the kidney. A: Interrenal means between the kidneys. B: Subrenal means below the kidney. C: Intrarenal means within the kidney. These choices do not accurately describe a location above the kidney, making them incorrect.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because it contains a main clause "Raina stopped to watch the sunset" and a dependent clause "Before finishing her walk home." The dependent clause adds context to the main clause, making it a complex sentence. The other choices either lack a dependent clause (A, C) or have multiple independent clauses without proper punctuation (D).

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Rationale for Correct Answer (C): Choice C is correct because it uses double quotation marks for direct speech, which is the standard punctuation rule in English grammar. Single quotation marks should only be used within double quotation marks. The sentence follows proper punctuation rules for reporting someone's speech. Summary of Incorrect Choices: - Choice A incorrectly uses single quotation marks for direct speech. - Choice B correctly uses double quotation marks but lacks proper reporting verb. - Choice D incorrectly uses single quotation marks for direct speech and lacks proper reporting verb.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because it correctly uses the transition word "therefore" to show the cause-and-effect relationship between being a hardworking student and earning a good grade. The semicolon before "therefore" in choice A correctly separates the two independent clauses. In choice B, the semicolon is missing, which makes it a run-on sentence. Choice C uses a colon instead of a semicolon, which is incorrect for joining two independent clauses. Choice D uses "and" instead of a transition word, which does not convey the cause-and-effect relationship clearly. Thus, choice A is the only option that uses the transition word correctly with proper punctuation.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: caffeine. The word "caffeine" is misspelled in the sentence above as "caffiene." The correct spelling of the word is "caffeine." This misspelling changes the pronunciation and meaning of the word. The other choices (B: truly, C: neither, D: exactly) are spelled correctly and do not alter the meaning of the sentence. The misspelling "caffiene" deviates from the standard spelling of "caffeine," making it the correct answer in this context.
