English TEAS Practice Test Questions
Question 1 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-."
Question 2 of 5
Unfortunately, the belief that changelings could be convinced to leave was not just an innocuous superstition; however, on some occasions, harm came to the individual who was thought to be a changeling. Which is the best way to revise and combine the underlined portion of the sentences?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: an innocuous superstition; however, on some occasions. This choice effectively combines the two clauses by using a semicolon to connect them and the transitional word "however" to show the contrast between the belief being innocuous and the potential harm. A: Incorrect, as it lacks a clear transition between the two clauses. B: Incorrect, as the transitional word "but" is not as strong as "however" in showing the contrast. D: Incorrect, as the colon is not suitable for connecting these two clauses and does not convey the contrast appropriately.
Question 3 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 4 of 5
Which of the following sentences has the correct subject-verb agreement?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B - "The employer decided that he could not, due to the high cost of health care, afford to offer other benefits to his employees." The subject "employer" is singular and agrees with the singular verb "decided." "He" is the singular pronoun that correctly refers back to the singular subject. The verb "could not afford" is in agreement with the singular subject "employer." Choice A has a plural subject "horse breed" and a singular verb "has," which is incorrect. Choice C has a singular subject "Puerto Rico" and a plural verb "includes," which is incorrect. Choice D has a singular subject "Each" and a singular verb "decides," but the pronoun "they" is incorrectly used instead of "he or she."
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following sentences follows the rules of capitalization?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it follows the rules of capitalization by capitalizing proper nouns (Ukrainians, Malanka, Earth). Proper nouns, like specific names of people, places, or things, should always be capitalized. In contrast, choices A, C, and D have capitalization errors. In choice A, "African white-backed vultures" is a proper noun phrase that should be capitalized throughout. In choice C, "sun" and "earth" should be capitalized as they refer to celestial bodies. In choice D, "Father of Immunology" is a title that should be capitalized. Therefore, B is the correct choice as it demonstrates proper capitalization of proper nouns.
