TEAS English Practice Test Questions

Question 1 of 5

Fill in the blank with the correct subordinating conjunction: '... the class was difficult, Allison passed with flying colors.'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Although. This subordinating conjunction is used to show contrast between two clauses. In this context, it indicates that despite the difficulty of the class, Allison still passed with flying colors. The other choices do not convey the intended meaning. A (If) implies a condition, B (Since) implies a causal relationship, and C (Because) implies reason, none of which align with the contrast presented in the sentence.

Question 2 of 5

In which of the following situations would you use formal language?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: At a Parent-Teacher meeting. Formal language is typically used in professional settings like meetings to show respect and professionalism. In this scenario, formal language is appropriate to discuss important matters related to a child's education and behavior. Texting a friend (A), a family reunion (B), and Skyping grandparents (C) are more casual settings where informal language is commonly used to maintain a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Using formal language in these situations may seem rigid or out of place.

Question 3 of 5

Select the correct definition of the underlined word having multiple meanings in the sentence: 'Natalie's fingers were calloused after practicing her bass.'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. In the sentence, "practicing her bass" refers to playing a musical instrument with four strings that makes low sounds. This is evident as Natalie's fingers are calloused from playing the bass guitar. The other choices are incorrect because: A: "Kind of fish" does not make sense in the context of the sentence. B: "Low and deep sound" is not relevant to Natalie practicing her bass. C: "Lowest male singing voice" does not fit the context of the sentence.

Question 4 of 5

Select the correct verb to complete the following sentence: 'The girls on the team are excited to play in the championships.'

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: are. In the sentence, 'The girls on the team' is a plural subject, so a plural verb 'are' should be used to maintain subject-verb agreement. 'Is' (A) and 'am' (B) are singular verbs, so they do not match the plural subject. 'Ares' (D) is not a proper verb form in standard English grammar. Therefore, 'are' (C) is the correct choice to ensure grammatical accuracy and proper subject-verb agreement.

Question 5 of 5

Which of the following uses a conjunction to combine the sentences below so the focus is on puppies requiring a lot of work? 'Puppies are fun-loving animals. They do require a lot of work.'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Although puppies are fun-loving animals, they do require a lot of work. The conjunction "Although" is used to contrast the fun-loving nature of puppies with the fact that they require a lot of work, effectively emphasizing the latter. This choice maintains the focus on the idea that puppies require a lot of effort. Explanation for why other choices are incorrect: A: The semicolon in choice A does not effectively convey the contrast between the two ideas. B: The conjunction "so" in choice B implies a cause-and-effect relationship, which does not highlight the contrast between the fun-loving nature and the work required. C: The choice "since" in C implies a causal relationship rather than a contrasting one, which is not the intended focus.
