English TEAS Practice Test Questions

Question 1 of 5

Parrots, among the most intelligent birds in the world, have been prized pets for many centuries; in fact, the first recorded instance of parrot training was written in the thirteenth century. Which of the following is a synonym for prized as used in the sentence?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: valued. In the context of the sentence, "prized" is used to convey that parrots have been highly valued as pets for many centuries. The word "prized" implies that parrots are considered precious or highly esteemed. Therefore, a synonym for "prized" in this context would be "valued," as it captures the idea of something being highly regarded or treasured. A: Unlikely - This does not fit the context of the sentence as it does not convey the meaning of something being highly valued or esteemed. B: Misunderstood - This does not fit the context of the sentence as it does not convey the idea of something being highly valued or prized. C: Rewarded - This does not fit the context of the sentence as it does not convey the meaning of something being highly valued or treasured.

Question 2 of 5

Which of the following root words would be used in a word related to the body?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: corp. The root word "corp" is derived from the Latin word "corpus," which means body. Therefore, it is directly related to the body. Choices B (auto), C (man), and D (bio) are not related to the body. Auto pertains to self or automatic, man refers to human beings, and bio is related to life or living organisms. Therefore, A is the correct choice for a word related to the body.

Question 3 of 5

Everyday items like potatoes, bread, onions, and even saliva are the tools of art conservators, who work to clean and restore works of art. Which of the following is misspelled in the sentence above?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: potatoes. The word "potatoes" is misspelled because it should be spelled with only one "o" in the middle, not two as in the given sentence. It should be "potatos." The other choices, B: saliva, C: conservators, and D: restore are spelled correctly. Saliva refers to the liquid in the mouth, conservators are professionals who preserve and restore works of art, and restore means to bring something back to its original condition. Therefore, the misspelling in the sentence is specifically with the word "potatoes."

Question 4 of 5

Which of the following sentences has the correct subject-verb agreement?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B - "The employer decided that he could not, due to the high cost of health care, afford to offer other benefits to his employees." The subject "employer" is singular and agrees with the singular verb "decided." "He" is the singular pronoun that correctly refers back to the singular subject. The verb "could not afford" is in agreement with the singular subject "employer." Choice A has a plural subject "horse breed" and a singular verb "has," which is incorrect. Choice C has a singular subject "Puerto Rico" and a plural verb "includes," which is incorrect. Choice D has a singular subject "Each" and a singular verb "decides," but the pronoun "they" is incorrectly used instead of "he or she."

Question 5 of 5

Which of the following is a complex sentence?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because it contains both an independent clause ("interstellar travel is expected to be an even bigger challenge than interplanetary exploration") and a dependent clause ("because the distance between stars in the galaxy is far greater than the distance between planets"). This structure makes it a complex sentence. Choice A is incorrect because it is a simple sentence. Choice B is incorrect as it is a compound sentence. Choice D is also incorrect as it is a complex sentence due to the dependent clause at the beginning, but the main clause is missing.
