TEAS English Practice Test Questions

Question 1 of 5

Select the correct definition of the underlined word having multiple meanings in the sentence: 'Natalie's fingers were calloused after practicing her bass.'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. In the sentence, "practicing her bass" refers to playing a musical instrument with four strings that makes low sounds. This is evident as Natalie's fingers are calloused from playing the bass guitar. The other choices are incorrect because: A: "Kind of fish" does not make sense in the context of the sentence. B: "Low and deep sound" is not relevant to Natalie practicing her bass. C: "Lowest male singing voice" does not fit the context of the sentence.

Question 2 of 5

Which of the following uses a conjunction to combine the sentences below so the focus is on puppies requiring a lot of work? 'Puppies are fun-loving animals. They do require a lot of work.'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Although puppies are fun-loving animals, they do require a lot of work. The conjunction "Although" is used to contrast the fun-loving nature of puppies with the fact that they require a lot of work, effectively emphasizing the latter. This choice maintains the focus on the idea that puppies require a lot of effort. Explanation for why other choices are incorrect: A: The semicolon in choice A does not effectively convey the contrast between the two ideas. B: The conjunction "so" in choice B implies a cause-and-effect relationship, which does not highlight the contrast between the fun-loving nature and the work required. C: The choice "since" in C implies a causal relationship rather than a contrasting one, which is not the intended focus.

Question 3 of 5

Which of the following prefixes means 'with'?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: con-. The prefix "con-" means 'with'. It is derived from Latin and is commonly used in English to indicate 'together' or 'with'. For example, in words like 'connect' or 'contribute', 'con-' signifies being together or with something. A: bio- means 'life', not 'with'. B: per- means 'through' or 'thoroughly', not 'with'. D: trans- means 'across' or 'beyond', not 'with'. In summary, the prefix 'con-' is the correct choice as it specifically denotes 'with' or 'together' in various contexts, making it the appropriate answer in this question.

Question 4 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.

Question 5 of 5

Select the noun that the underlined adjectives describe: 'Two weeks after his surgery, Henry felt strong and healthy.'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Henry. The adjectives 'strong' and 'healthy' describe the state or condition of Henry, not the weeks, possessive pronoun 'his', or surgery. Adjectives typically modify nouns or pronouns, and in this sentence, 'strong' and 'healthy' are describing Henry, indicating his physical well-being post-surgery. Therefore, the noun being described by the underlined adjectives is 'Henry'. The other choices (A: weeks, B: his, C: surgery) are incorrect as they are not being directly described by the adjectives in the sentence.
