TEAS English Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Select the subject with which the underlined verb must agree: 'Everyone I know has the day off, but my boss wants me to work.'
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.
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 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
Which pronoun would not work in the following sentence? 'I asked a colleague to bring it to you.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: whose. In the sentence, "I asked a colleague to bring it to you," the pronoun "whose" is not appropriate because it is used to indicate possession or ownership, while in this context, the pronoun needs to refer to the object being brought. The pronouns A, B, and C (my, our, your) can all correctly refer to the object in the sentence. Therefore, the pronoun "whose" does not work in this sentence.
Question 5 of 5
In which of the following situations would it be best to use informal language?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Writing a postcard. In this situation, informal language is appropriate as postcards are meant to be brief and personal. Informal language adds a friendly tone and suits the casual nature of postcard communication. Choices A, C, and D require more formal language due to the professional or educational settings. Seminars, talking to your boss, and participating in a professional conference all call for formal language to maintain professionalism and respect the context.
