English TEAS Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
First and foremost, they receive an annual pension payment. T has been reviewed and changed a number of times, most recently to reflect the salary of a high-level government executive. Which of the following would NOT be an acceptable way to revise and combine the underlined portion of the sentences above?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because it introduces unnecessary information ("over the years since 1958") that is not relevant to the context of the sentence. The sentence is focused on the recent changes in the pension payment to reflect the salary of a high-level government executive. Choice A, B, and D all effectively revise and combine the underlined portion by maintaining clarity and conciseness. Choice A and D use a relative pronoun ("which") to refer back to the "annual pension payment," and choice B uses a semicolon to separate the two clauses effectively. Therefore, C is the incorrect choice as it introduces irrelevant information and disrupts the flow of the sentence.
Question 2 of 5
Though professional dental care is widely available in the developed world, the prevalence of cavities is much higher there. Which of the following parts of speech is widely used in the sentence?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: adverb. In the sentence, "widely" modifies the verb "available," providing information on the extent to which professional dental care is available. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. The other choices are incorrect because: A: "adjective" - Adjectives modify nouns or pronouns, not verbs. B: "noun" - Nouns are not used to modify other parts of speech in the sentence. D: "verb" - While the sentence contains a verb, the question is asking about the part of speech used to modify another part of speech, which is the function of an adverb in this case.
Question 3 of 5
The patient's preoperative evaluation is scheduled for next Wednesday. In the sentence, the prefix pre- indicates that the evaluation will take place at which of the following times?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The prefix "pre-" means before. In this context, "preoperative" means before the operation. Therefore, the evaluation will take place before the operation. The other choices are incorrect because they do not align with the meaning of the prefix "pre-": B: After the operation - This contradicts the prefix "pre-." C: During the operation - This contradicts the prefix "pre-." D: Outside of the operation - This is not related to the prefix "pre-."
Question 4 of 5
Today, astrophysicists study the same stars that were observed by the astronomers of the ancient world, though today's techniques and technology are much more advanced. Which of the following is misspelled in the sentence?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: astronomers. This is misspelled as "astronomers" has an extra letter 'e' in the middle. The word should be spelled as "astronomers." A: astrophysicists - spelled correctly. C: techniques - spelled correctly. D: technology - spelled correctly.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is correctly punctuated?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it uses commas to set off the non-restrictive clause "whose death shocked America in April of 2016." The commas indicate that this information is additional and not essential to the main sentence. Choice A is incorrect as it lacks the second comma after 2016. Choice C is incorrect as it uses dashes incorrectly, which should only be used to set off non-essential information. Choice D is incorrect as it correctly uses commas but lacks the second comma after 2016.
