Practice English TEAS TEST

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Tense disagreement. In the sentence, there is a mismatch in verb tenses. "Is going" (present continuous) should be followed by "from running" (present participle) to maintain consistency in the timeline. The correct structure should be "is going to keep her from running," using the present participle "running" to match the present continuous tense of "is going." Summary: A: Poor diction - The sentence does not have a problem with word choice. B: Ambiguous word choice - There is no ambiguity in the wording of the sentence. D: Inappropriate transition word choice - The sentence does not involve transition words.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: "who". In this case, "who" is used as the subject pronoun to refer to the person performing the action (John Smith). Since John Smith is the one taking the action of photographing the landscape, we use "who" to introduce the relative clause. Using "which" (B) would be incorrect as it is used to refer to things, not people. "Whom" (C) is used as an object pronoun, which is not appropriate in this context. "That" (D) is used for defining relative clauses for both people and things, but "who" is preferred when referring to people to maintain clarity and proper grammar.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because "theirs" is a possessive pronoun showing ownership. It is used to indicate that something belongs to the patient. In contrast, choices B, C, and D do not contain possessive pronouns. Choice B uses the possessive noun "hospital's," choice C uses a possessive adjective "personal," and choice D does not include any possessive pronoun. Therefore, A is the only option that contains a possessive pronoun, making it the correct choice.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the subject "couch and chair" is plural, so the verb "look" agrees with the plural subject. In choices A, B, and D, there is a mismatch in subject-verb agreement - A has a singular subject with a plural verb, B has a plural subject with a singular verb, and D has two separate items treated as a singular subject with a plural verb.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Correct Answer: B Rationale: In sentence B, the pronoun "she" correctly refers to the antecedent "doctor," maintaining agreement in both gender and number. The pronoun "she" matches with the singular noun "doctor," making it the correct choice. Summary of Incorrect Choices: A: The pronoun "they" does not agree with the singular antecedent "students." C: The pronoun "they" does not agree with the singular noun "choir," creating a lack of agreement. D: The pronoun "its" does not agree with the plural antecedent "party of five," leading to incorrect pronoun-antecedent agreement.
