Practice English TEAS TEST

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Stubborn. 'Intransigent' means unwilling to compromise or change one's views. In the sentence, Jolie's unwavering stance on the issue indicates stubbornness. Indefinite (B) means unclear or vague, which does not fit the context. Passionate (C) means having strong emotions or beliefs, but it doesn't capture the refusal to compromise. Outspoken (D) means vocal or candid, which is not the same as being unyielding.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: But. "But" is the appropriate choice because it indicates a contrast between Brady's lack of experience in skiing and her natural ability on the slopes. The usage of "but" helps to emphasize the unexpected outcome of Brady's performance. Rationale: 1. "Unless" is incorrect as it implies a condition or exception, which does not fit the context of the sentence. 2. "Therefore" is incorrect as it indicates a result or conclusion, which is not supported by the information given. 3. "Before" is incorrect as it is a preposition and does not provide the necessary contrast between Brady's inexperience and skill on the slopes.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: -able. Adding the suffix -able to the verb 'manage' forms the adjective 'manageable', meaning capable of being managed. This suffix is commonly used to transform verbs into adjectives, indicating the possibility or capability of the action described by the verb. In this case, 'manageable' describes something that can be managed. Choice A, -ed, typically forms the past tense of regular verbs and does not convert a verb into an adjective. Choice B, -ible, is used to create adjectives indicating possibility or capability, but it is not the appropriate suffix for the verb 'manage'. Choice D, -er, forms agent nouns or comparative adjectives, not adjectives from verbs.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: is. In this sentence, "She" is the subject, which is singular. Therefore, the correct verb form to use with a singular subject is "is." The verb "is" is the present tense form of the verb "to be" that agrees with the singular subject "She." Summary: - Choice B: are is incorrect because it is the plural form of the verb "to be" and does not agree with the singular subject "She." - Choice C: were is incorrect because it is the past tense form of the verb "to be" and does not fit the present tense context of the sentence. - Choice D: am is incorrect because it is the first-person singular form of the verb "to be" and does not match the third-person singular subject "She."

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.
