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 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 3 of 5

Which of the following prefixes would be used to indicate that something is inside or within?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: intra-. The prefix "intra-" is used to indicate something is inside or within. For example, intracellular means inside the cell. The prefix "trans-" indicates across or beyond, "anti-" indicates against or opposite, and "hyper-" indicates excessive or above normal. Therefore, A is the correct choice as it aligns with the meaning of inside or within.

Question 4 of 5

Typically, water that has evaporated remains in the sky in cloud form for less than ten days before falling to Earth again as precipitation. Which of the following parts of speech is 'remains' as used in the sentence?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The word "remains" is a verb in the sentence. Here's why: 1. Function: It is the main verb in the sentence, indicating the action of the water staying in the sky. 2. Action: Verbs show actions or states of being, and "remains" shows the state of the water staying. 3. Inflection: Verbs can be inflected to show tense, mood, aspect, and agreement. In this case, "remains" is inflected for present tense. 4. Context: The word "remains" fits the sentence structure as a verb, connecting the subject (water) to the predicate (staying in the sky). In summary, 'remains' is a verb because it functions as the main action in the sentence, showing the state of the water, and fits the context and structure of the sentence. The other choices (noun, adjective, adverb) do not accurately describe the function of 'remains' in the

Question 5 of 5

Though the term nomad is often associated with early populations, nomadic cultures exist today, especially in the mountains of Europe and Asia. Which of the following punctuation marks is used incorrectly?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the apostrophe in "mountain's" is incorrect. The apostrophe is used to show possession or contraction, but in this case, it is not needed. "Mountain's" implies ownership or a contraction, which is not the intended meaning in the sentence. The correct form should be "mountains" to simply refer to the geographical locations. A: the comma after populations - The comma after populations is correct as it separates two clauses in the sentence. B: the comma after today - The comma after today is also correct as it sets off a non-essential element in the sentence. D: the period after Asia - The period after Asia is correct as it marks the end of the sentence.
