English TEAS Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is the complete subject in the sentence: Sandra's principal reason for choosing the job was that it would be full-time and would offer benefits?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The complete subject in a sentence includes the main noun along with all the words that describe or modify it. In this sentence, the main noun is "reason," and the words that describe it are "Sandra's principal for choosing the job." Therefore, the complete subject is "Sandra's principal reason for choosing the job" (Option A). Option B is incorrect because it is missing the crucial part "for choosing the job." Option C is incorrect as it lacks the entire descriptive phrase. Option D is incorrect as it only includes the person's name without any additional details about the reason.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is a compound sentence?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. This sentence is a compound sentence because it consists of two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction "and." The first independent clause is "Plague, generally not a major public health concern, actually continues to spread among rodent populations today," and the second independent clause is "it even occasionally makes its way into a human host." Each clause can stand alone as a complete sentence. Choice B is incorrect because it is a complex sentence with a dependent clause ("which seeks answers to humanity's questions about its past") and an independent clause ("is significantly helped by new technologies"). Choice C is incorrect because it is a simple sentence with only one independent clause ("countries around the world are imposing taxes on sodas and other sugary drinks in an effort to curb unhealthy habits"). Choice D is incorrect because it is a complex sentence with a dependent clause ("Because the assassination of President John F. Kennedy continues to haunt and fascinate Americans") and an independent clause ("new movies,
Question 3 of 5
Everyday items like potatoes, bread, onions, and even saliva are the tools of art conservators, who work to clean and restore works of art. Which of the following is misspelled in the sentence above?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: potatoes. The word "potatoes" is misspelled because it should be spelled with only one "o" in the middle, not two as in the given sentence. It should be "potatos." The other choices, B: saliva, C: conservators, and D: restore are spelled correctly. Saliva refers to the liquid in the mouth, conservators are professionals who preserve and restore works of art, and restore means to bring something back to its original condition. Therefore, the misspelling in the sentence is specifically with the word "potatoes."
Question 4 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 5 of 5
Which of the following sentences has correct pronoun-antecedent agreement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the pronoun "it" correctly refers back to its antecedent "number," both singular. In sentence C, the singular pronoun "it" matches the singular antecedent "number." This maintains agreement in number between the pronoun and its antecedent. Explanation for why the other choices are incorrect: A: The pronoun "it" in "it left" does not have a clear antecedent. B: The pronoun "they" does not agree with the singular antecedent "Each of the cars." D: The pronoun "they" does not have a clear antecedent, and there is a lack of agreement in number between the antecedent and pronoun.
