Practice English TEAS TEST

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Ibexes have adapted to life in the mountains. Ibexes exhibit physical characteristics and behaviors that are specifically suited for their mountainous habitat, such as sure-footedness, agility, and the ability to leap from rock to rock. These adaptations help them thrive in the challenging mountain environment. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because while they touch on aspects of ibex behavior and habitat, they do not specifically address the concept of adaptation to their mountainous lifestyle. Ibexes are not just agile or found in both lowlands and highlands, but they have evolved specific traits that aid in their survival in mountainous regions.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Correct Answer: B Rationale: In sentence B, the pronoun "she" correctly refers to the antecedent "doctor," maintaining agreement in both gender and number. The pronoun "she" matches with the singular noun "doctor," making it the correct choice. Summary of Incorrect Choices: A: The pronoun "they" does not agree with the singular antecedent "students." C: The pronoun "they" does not agree with the singular noun "choir," creating a lack of agreement. D: The pronoun "its" does not agree with the plural antecedent "party of five," leading to incorrect pronoun-antecedent agreement.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The complete predicate includes the main verb and all its modifiers and complements. In this sentence, "explained that we would be the next to see the doctor" is the complete predicate. - "explained" is the main verb - "that we would be the next to see the doctor" is a modifier specifying what was explained. B: "next to see the doctor" is just a prepositional phrase, not a complete predicate. C: "explained that we would be next" is missing the final part "to see the doctor." D: "see the doctor" is just a verb phrase, not a complete predicate.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because it consists of two independent clauses (Condors are protected by laws / many people fear they will soon become extinct) connected by a coordinating conjunction (but). This structure forms a compound sentence. In contrast, choices B, C, and D either lack the necessary coordinating conjunction to connect two independent clauses or contain sentence fragments, making them incorrect.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Halves. In English, the plural form of "half" is "halves." The rule for forming the plural of "half" is to replace the -f with -ves. This rule applies to many words ending in -f, making "halves" the correct plural form. A: Chieves is incorrect as the correct plural form of "chief" is "chiefs." B: Prooves is incorrect as the correct plural form of "proof" is "proofs." C: Razores is incorrect as the correct plural form of "razor" is "razors." Therefore, D is the correct answer as it follows the rule for forming the plural of words ending in -f.
