TEAS English Practice Test

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.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Application. In the sentence, 'application' has multiple meanings such as a formal request for something or a computer program. This makes it the word with more than one meaning. A: Overjoyed - Only has one meaning, extreme happiness. B: Finally - Only has one meaning, after a long time or at last. D: College - Has a single meaning, an educational institution.

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.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: odor. In the sentence, "pungent" is used to describe the odor in the room. This context clue indicates that the word "pungent" is related to smell. The other choices do not provide any direct information about the meaning of "pungent." "Room" and "made" are just parts of the sentence and do not give any clues about the definition of the word. "Tear" refers to the physical reaction caused by the pungent odor, not the definition of the word itself. Therefore, the context clue in choice A is the most relevant in helping define the word "pungent."

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, past perfect. In the sentence, "had been sick" is in past perfect tense, indicating an action that occurred before another past action. "Had been" is the past perfect form of the verb "to be." This tense is used to show that an action was completed before another past action. The other choices are incorrect because: B: Present perfect is not used in the sentence. C: Past progressive is not used as there is no continuous action in the past. D: Present progressive is not used as the sentence is describing past events.
