TEAS English Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is the best definition of the word translucent?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Letting some light through. Translucent means allowing light to pass through but diffusing it, making objects on the other side appear blurred or hazy. This definition aligns with the scientific understanding of the term. Choice A is incorrect because it describes an opaque material that blocks all light. Choice B is incorrect as it describes something that emits light, not lets light through. Choice C is incorrect as it refers to something that produces colorful light, not allows light to pass through.
Question 2 of 5
Select the correct definition of the underlined word having multiple meanings in the sentence: 'Natalie's fingers were calloused after practicing her bass.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. In the sentence, "practicing her bass" refers to playing a musical instrument with four strings that makes low sounds. This is evident as Natalie's fingers are calloused from playing the bass guitar. The other choices are incorrect because: A: "Kind of fish" does not make sense in the context of the sentence. B: "Low and deep sound" is not relevant to Natalie practicing her bass. C: "Lowest male singing voice" does not fit the context of the sentence.
Question 3 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 4 of 5
Select the context clue from the following sentence that helps you define the multiple meaning word formula: 'The mother gave her baby his formula after he woke up from his nap in the car.'
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: baby. In the sentence, the word "formula" is used in relation to the baby, indicating it refers to a type of baby food or drink rather than a scientific equation. The context clue is that the baby is being given the formula, suggesting it is a consumable item for infants. The other choices (A: mother, C: nap, D: car) are unrelated to the word "formula" and do not provide any context to define its meaning in this sentence.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following root words means far?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: tele. The root word "tele" means far in distance, such as in words like "telecommunication" or "telescope." This root is derived from the Greek word "tēle," meaning far or distant. The other choices, trans, post, and ante, do not have the primary meaning of far. "Trans" means across or beyond, "post" means after, and "ante" means before. Therefore, A is the correct choice as it directly relates to the concept of distance.
