TEAS Test English Questions

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B (bucks) because it is a slang term for dollars. In the given sentence, "bucks" is used informally instead of "dollars." "Can't" is a contraction, not slang. "Beret" is a specific item, not slang. The word "bucks" stands out as informal language in the sentence, making it the correct choice.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: ":". In the sentence provided, a colon is the most appropriate punctuation mark to signal a list of items to follow. A colon is commonly used to introduce a list or to provide further explanation. In this case, it sets up the list of items that the speaker wants to be brought. The other options are not suitable in this context: A semicolon (;) is used to connect independent clauses, a period (.) marks the end of a sentence, and a comma (,) is used to separate items in a list, but it is not strong enough to introduce the list as effectively as a colon.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because it addresses a specific threat facing a national park - rising sea levels impacting the Everglades. This choice highlights the urgency of the situation due to lagging restoration efforts. The other choices are incorrect as they do not focus on a significant threat to a national park. Choice B provides general information about the Grand Canyon. Choice C mentions accidents at Glacier National Park but does not discuss a broader threat to the park. Choice D is a personal anecdote about a visit to Acadia National Park and does not address any threats to the park.

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.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because it directly states the key finding of the study by Dr. Arnold N. Skjong, which is that neonatal transfer was the most common complication in full-term newborns. This choice highlights the primary focus of the study and provides a clear explanation of the problem hospitals are facing. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not specifically mention the key finding of the study as reported by Dr. Arnold N. Skjong. While choices A, B, and D touch on the general topic of unexpected complications in full-term newborns and the need for research and higher levels of neonatal care, they do not address the specific information provided by Dr. Skjong's report. Therefore, they do not accurately represent the main point of the study and are not the correct answer.
