English and Language Usage TEAS Questions
Question 1 of 5
Reread the following sentence from the passage: 'Don't hit me with arguments about greater freedom for workers.' Which of the following would be a more formal way to rewrite the sentence?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it maintains the formality of the original sentence by using a more structured and professional tone. It rephrases the statement in a way that presents a clear and respectful disagreement with the argument being discussed. Choice B is incorrect as it lacks formality and politeness, using an imperative tone that is not suitable for a formal setting. Choice C is incorrect as it poses a question rather than providing a formal restatement of the original sentence. Choice D is also incorrect as it does not offer a formal rewrite of the sentence and does not express any disagreement with the argument as required.
Question 2 of 5
The realtor showed __________ and __________ a house on Wednesday afternoon. Which of the following pronoun pairs should be used in the blanks above?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct pronoun pair for the blanks should be "Her, me." "Her" is used as the object pronoun referring to the realtor, and "me" is used as the object pronoun referring to the person being shown the house. The pronouns "She, I" (A) and "She, me" (B) are incorrect as "I" should not be used as an object pronoun, and "She" cannot be used as an object pronoun. "Me, her" (C) is also incorrect as the order of the pronouns is reversed.
Question 3 of 5
What type of sentence is the following: 'If it rains tomorrow, the picnic will be canceled'?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Complex. This sentence has an independent clause 'the picnic will be canceled' and a dependent clause 'If it rains tomorrow'. The dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence, making it a complex sentence. A simple sentence (A) consists of just one independent clause, a compound sentence (B) has two or more independent clauses, and a compound-complex sentence (D) has at least one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.
Question 4 of 5
A student wants to rewrite the following sentence: Entrepreneurs use their ideas to make money. He wants to use the word money as a verb, but he isn't sure which word ending to use. What is the appropriate suffix to add to money to complete the following sentence? Entrepreneurs __________ their ideas.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: -ize. When we change "money" to a verb, it becomes "monetize." This means to make money from an idea. Therefore, the sentence would be "Entrepreneurs monetize their ideas." The suffix -ize is commonly used to form verbs, indicating the act or process of doing something. Choices B, C, and D do not create a valid verb form with "money" in this context.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following sentences uses a comma correctly?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B, "Let's eat, Grandma!" This sentence correctly uses a comma to indicate a pause after the imperative phrase "Let's eat." The comma is necessary to clarify that "Grandma" is not the object of the action. Choice A lacks a comma, potentially changing the meaning. Choices C and D contain incorrect comma placements that disrupt the intended meaning.
