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
What is the correct plural form of the noun 'class'?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct plural form of 'class' is 'classes' because it follows the standard English rule for forming plurals by adding 'es' to nouns ending in 's'. In this case, 'class' ends in 's'. Therefore, adding 'es' makes it plural. Choice A is incorrect because it is the singular form. Choice B, using an apostrophe to show plurality, is incorrect as well as it indicates possession, not pluralization. Choice C, adding an apostrophe and 's', is incorrect because it also shows possession, not plurality. Overall, 'classes' is the correct plural form of 'class' as it adheres to the rules of English grammar for forming plurals.
Question 3 of 5
What is the best definition of the word veritable?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Genuine. Veritable means true or real. It is the most suitable definition compared to the other choices. A - Noble, does not capture the essence of veritable. C - Forceful, and D - Exaggerated are opposite in meaning to veritable. Veritable implies authenticity, making choice B the best option.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following uses a conjunction to combine the sentences below so the focus is on puppies requiring a lot of work? 'Puppies are fun-loving animals. They do require a lot of work.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Although puppies are fun-loving animals, they do require a lot of work. The conjunction "Although" is used to contrast the fun-loving nature of puppies with the fact that they require a lot of work, effectively emphasizing the latter. This choice maintains the focus on the idea that puppies require a lot of effort. Explanation for why other choices are incorrect: A: The semicolon in choice A does not effectively convey the contrast between the two ideas. B: The conjunction "so" in choice B implies a cause-and-effect relationship, which does not highlight the contrast between the fun-loving nature and the work required. C: The choice "since" in C implies a causal relationship rather than a contrasting one, which is not the intended focus.
Question 5 of 5
Which pronoun would not work in the following sentence? 'I asked a colleague to bring it to you.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: whose. In the sentence, "I asked a colleague to bring it to you," the pronoun "whose" is not appropriate because it is used to indicate possession or ownership, while in this context, the pronoun needs to refer to the object being brought. The pronouns A, B, and C (my, our, your) can all correctly refer to the object in the sentence. Therefore, the pronoun "whose" does not work in this sentence.
