English TEAS Practice Test Questions

Question 1 of 5

Her new tennis racket cost her a hundred dollars, but it was worth the steep price tag. Which of the following words from the sentence is slang?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: dollars. In this sentence, "dollars" is the only word that is considered slang as it is a colloquial term for currency. "Cost" is a standard verb, "steep" is an adjective, and "tag" is a noun. Using slang terms in formal writing should be avoided, so "dollars" is the inappropriate choice in this context.

Question 2 of 5

Though the term nomad is often associated with early populations, nomadic cultures exist today, especially in the mountains of Europe and Asia. Which of the following punctuation marks is used incorrectly?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the apostrophe in "mountain's" is incorrect. The apostrophe is used to show possession or contraction, but in this case, it is not needed. "Mountain's" implies ownership or a contraction, which is not the intended meaning in the sentence. The correct form should be "mountains" to simply refer to the geographical locations. A: the comma after populations - The comma after populations is correct as it separates two clauses in the sentence. B: the comma after today - The comma after today is also correct as it sets off a non-essential element in the sentence. D: the period after Asia - The period after Asia is correct as it marks the end of the sentence.

Question 3 of 5

Which of the following phrases follows the rules of capitalization?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because it follows the rules of capitalization for titles and proper nouns. "Robert Jones" is capitalized as it is a specific person's name, and "Senator" is capitalized as it is a title when referring to a specific person. The other choices have incorrect capitalization. A should have "president" lowercase unless directly preceding the name, C should have "aunt" and "uncle" lowercase unless directly preceding the names, and D should have "New Year's Eve" capitalized as it is a proper noun.

Question 4 of 5

Unfortunately, the belief that changelings could be convinced to leave was not just an innocuous superstition; however, on some occasions, harm came to the individual who was thought to be a changeling. Which is the best way to revise and combine the underlined portion of the sentences?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: an innocuous superstition; however, on some occasions. This choice effectively combines the two clauses by using a semicolon to connect them and the transitional word "however" to show the contrast between the belief being innocuous and the potential harm. A: Incorrect, as it lacks a clear transition between the two clauses. B: Incorrect, as the transitional word "but" is not as strong as "however" in showing the contrast. D: Incorrect, as the colon is not suitable for connecting these two clauses and does not convey the contrast appropriately.

Question 5 of 5

Typically, water that has evaporated remains in the sky in cloud form for less than ten days before falling to Earth again as precipitation. Which of the following parts of speech is 'remains' as used in the sentence?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The word "remains" is a verb in the sentence. Here's why: 1. Function: It is the main verb in the sentence, indicating the action of the water staying in the sky. 2. Action: Verbs show actions or states of being, and "remains" shows the state of the water staying. 3. Inflection: Verbs can be inflected to show tense, mood, aspect, and agreement. In this case, "remains" is inflected for present tense. 4. Context: The word "remains" fits the sentence structure as a verb, connecting the subject (water) to the predicate (staying in the sky). In summary, 'remains' is a verb because it functions as the main action in the sentence, showing the state of the water, and fits the context and structure of the sentence.
