TEAS English Practice Test

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Everyone. The subject-verb agreement rule states that a singular subject (Everyone) requires a singular verb (has). In this sentence, "has" agrees with the singular subject "Everyone." The other choices (B: I, C: day, D: boss) are not the subjects that the verb "has" should agree with, as they are not the main subjects of the sentence. The subject "Everyone" is the main subject that governs the verb agreement in this sentence.

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.

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.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Application. In the sentence, 'application' has multiple meanings such as a formal request for something or a computer program. This makes it the word with more than one meaning. A: Overjoyed - Only has one meaning, extreme happiness. B: Finally - Only has one meaning, after a long time or at last. D: College - Has a single meaning, an educational institution.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Genuine. Veritable means true or real. It is the most suitable definition compared to the other choices. A - Noble, does not capture the essence of veritable. C - Forceful, and D - Exaggerated are opposite in meaning to veritable. Veritable implies authenticity, making choice B the best option.
