TEAS English Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Select the book title that does not contain a preposition.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: And Then There Were None. The title does not contain a preposition. Prepositions are words that show the relationship between nouns or pronouns and other words in a sentence. In this title, "And Then There Were None," there are no prepositions present. The other choices, A, B, and C, all contain prepositions. A: The Man in the Brown Suit - "in," B: The Secret of Chimneys - "of," and C: Murder on the Orient Express - "on." Therefore, D is the correct answer as it is the only title without a preposition.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is an example of a complex sentence?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it contains an independent clause "Tabitha tried rock climbing" and a dependent clause "despite having a fear of heights." This structure meets the criteria for a complex sentence. The other choices lack the combination of an independent and dependent clause, making them incorrect. Choice A is a compound sentence with two independent clauses joined by a comma and a coordinating conjunction. Choice B is a compound sentence with two independent clauses separated by a semicolon. Choice C is a compound sentence with two independent clauses joined by "and."
Question 3 of 5
Which word(s) in the following sentence should be capitalized? 'She asked, Do you like Indian food?'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because proper nouns such as 'She' and 'Indian' should be capitalized. Since 'Do' is part of the direct speech, it should also be capitalized. Choice A is incorrect because 'do' should be capitalized. Choice B is incorrect because 'She' should be capitalized. Choice C is incorrect because 'Indian' should be capitalized. Therefore, the correct choice is D as it includes all the words that should be capitalized in the sentence.
Question 4 of 5
Identify the type of sentence: 'The sky is blue, and the grass is green.'
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Compound sentence. A compound sentence consists of two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction, which is the case in the given sentence. "The sky is blue" and "the grass is green" are both independent clauses connected by the coordinating conjunction "and." Therefore, the sentence meets the criteria of a compound sentence. Incorrect Choices: A: Simple sentence - A simple sentence typically consists of a single independent clause, but the given sentence contains two independent clauses. C: Complex sentence - A complex sentence contains an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses, which is not the case in the given sentence. D: Compound-complex sentence - A compound-complex sentence consists of two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses. The given sentence does not contain any dependent clauses, making this choice incorrect.
Question 5 of 5
Select the meaning of the word 'somnambulist' in the sentence based on the context clues: 'If you wake up outside in your pajamas in the middle of the night, you may be a somnambulist.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Sleepwalker. The term 'somnambulist' in the sentence refers to someone who walks or performs activities while asleep. The context clue of waking up outside in pajamas at night suggests sleepwalking behavior. Other choices are incorrect because: A: Explorer - does not relate to the context of sleepwalking. B: Magician - does not fit with the context of sleeping and walking. C: Insomniac - someone who has trouble falling or staying asleep, not related to sleepwalking behavior.
