English TEAS Practice Test Questions

Question 1 of 5

The American Academy of Arts and Sciences includes members whose topics of study span many disciplines such as math, science, arts, humanities, public affairs, and business. Which of the following is an appropriate synonym for disciplines as it is used in the sentence?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: fields. In the context provided, "disciplines" refers to specific areas of study or expertise. "Fields" is an appropriate synonym as it also denotes specialized subjects or branches of knowledge. The other choices, A: locations, B: regions, and C: punishments, do not align with the meaning of "disciplines" in the sentence and are therefore incorrect. Locations and regions refer to physical places, while punishments relate to penalties or consequences, none of which are related to the diverse areas of study mentioned in the sentence.

Question 2 of 5

Which of the following is a complex sentence?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because it contains both an independent clause ("interstellar travel is expected to be an even bigger challenge than interplanetary exploration") and a dependent clause ("because the distance between stars in the galaxy is far greater than the distance between planets"). This structure makes it a complex sentence. Choice A is incorrect because it is a simple sentence. Choice B is incorrect as it is a compound sentence. Choice D is also incorrect as it is a complex sentence due to the dependent clause at the beginning, but the main clause is missing.

Question 3 of 5

Which of the following statements about heat engines is true?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because heat engines can indeed be categorized into combustion engines, which rely on burning fuel to generate heat, and non-combustion engines, which use other methods like thermoelectricity or nuclear reactions. Choice A is incorrect because heat engines are just one type of engine, not the most common. Choice B is incorrect as pneumatic and hydraulic motors are not types of electric engines. Choice C is incorrect as it oversimplifies the classification of engines.

Question 4 of 5

Which of the following nouns is written in the correct plural form?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: potatoes. "Potatoes" is the correct plural form of the noun "potato" because it follows the standard English pluralization rule by adding "-es" to form the plural. In contrast, choices A, B, and C have irregular plural forms; "vertebrae" is the plural of "vertebra," "geese" is the plural of "goose," and "octopuses" is an incorrect plural form of "octopus" as the correct plural is "octopi" or "octopodes." Therefore, "potatoes" is the only noun in the list that is written in the correct plural form based on standard English pluralization rules.

Question 5 of 5

The patient's preoperative evaluation is scheduled for next Wednesday. In the sentence, the prefix pre- indicates that the evaluation will take place at which of the following times?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The prefix "pre-" means before. In this context, "preoperative" means before the operation. Therefore, the evaluation will take place before the operation. The other choices are incorrect because they do not align with the meaning of the prefix "pre-": B: After the operation - This contradicts the prefix "pre-." C: During the operation - This contradicts the prefix "pre-." D: Outside of the operation - This is not related to the prefix "pre-."
