English TEAS Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Though professional dental care is widely available in the developed world, the prevalence of cavities is much higher there. Which of the following parts of speech is widely used in the sentence?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: adverb. In the sentence, "widely" modifies the verb "available," providing information on the extent to which professional dental care is available. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. The other choices are incorrect because: A: "adjective" - Adjectives modify nouns or pronouns, not verbs. B: "noun" - Nouns are not used to modify other parts of speech in the sentence. D: "verb" - While the sentence contains a verb, the question is asking about the part of speech used to modify another part of speech, which is the function of an adverb in this case.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is correctly punctuated?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it uses commas to set off the non-restrictive clause "whose death shocked America in April of 2016." The commas indicate that this information is additional and not essential to the main sentence. Choice A is incorrect as it lacks the second comma after 2016. Choice C is incorrect as it uses dashes incorrectly, which should only be used to set off non-essential information. Choice D is incorrect as it correctly uses commas but lacks the second comma after 2016.
Question 3 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.
Question 4 of 5
Unlike a traditional comic book, a graphic novel is released as one single publication, either in the form of one long story or an anthology. Which of the following is an appropriate synonym for traditional as it is used in the sentence?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: conventional. The word "traditional" in the context of the sentence refers to the usual or standard way of something being done. In this case, it contrasts with the unique format of a graphic novel. "Old-fashioned" is not the best synonym here as it implies outdatedness rather than the standard way of doing something. "Expensive" and "popular" do not relate to the idea of being standard or usual. "Conventional" best captures the meaning of "traditional" in this context.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following root words would be used in a word related to the body?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: corp. The root word "corp" is derived from the Latin word "corpus," which means body. Therefore, it is directly related to the body. Choices B (auto), C (man), and D (bio) are not related to the body. Auto pertains to self or automatic, man refers to human beings, and bio is related to life or living organisms. Therefore, A is the correct choice for a word related to the body.
