TEAS 7 English Practice Test

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because it maintains the correct tense consistency in the sentence. The original sentence is in the past tense, so "we would wake up, eat breakfast, and break camp" maintains that past tense form. Choice A is incorrect as it does not make any necessary changes. Choice C is a question form which changes the meaning of the sentence. Choice D changes the tense to present continuous which is incorrect as the sentence is describing a habitual action in the past.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The underlined portion "the student center" is a Noun Phrase because it functions as the object of the preposition "to." Noun phrases consist of a noun and any associated words, such as articles or adjectives. In this case, "the student center" acts as a single unit describing where new students should report. It does not contain a verb, so it cannot be a clause. It also does not modify a verb or adjective, ruling out adverbial or adjective phrases. Therefore, the correct answer is D: Noun phrase.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The prefix "circum-" means around. In the word circumference, "circum-" is used to indicate the concept of going around or encircling something, like the perimeter of a circle. This prefix is derived from the Latin word "circum," which means around. Therefore, the correct answer is C: Around. Choice A: Beyond - This is incorrect as "circum-" does not imply going beyond something, but rather around it. Choice B: After - This is incorrect as "circum-" does not signify something happening after another event or action. Choice D: Before - This is incorrect as "circum-" does not refer to something happening before another event or action.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because it demonstrates the correct use of punctuation for listing items. The colon (:) is used to introduce the list of items needed for Graham's class. Commas are then used to separate the items within the list. Choice B is incorrect because it uses a comma instead of a colon to introduce the list, which is not the correct punctuation for this context. Choice C is incorrect because it uses semicolons to separate the items in the list, which is not the standard punctuation for listing items in this context. Choice D is incorrect because it uses dashes to separate the items in the list, which is also not the appropriate punctuation for listing items in this context.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: "The two brothers, Wilbur and Orville Wright, tested their prototype airplane on a beach in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina." Rationale: 1. Use of commas before and after "Wilbur and Orville Wright" sets off the non-essential information, improving readability. 2. The sentence structure is clear and direct, stating the action performed by the subject. 3. The verb "tested" is in the past tense, consistent with the timeline of the event. Summary of other choices: A: The lack of commas before and after "Wilbur and Orville Wright" can make the sentence less clear. C: The use of "were testing" implies an ongoing action, which may not be accurate for this specific historical event. D: The sentence structure is awkward, and the focus is more on the location rather than the action performed by the Wright brothers.
