TEAS 7 English Practice Test

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, "Charlotte's new German shepherd puppy." This is the noun phrase because it consists of a determiner (Charlotte's), adjectives (new, German shepherd), and a noun (puppy). It functions as a single unit to describe the puppy. Choice A is incorrect because "puppy" is a standalone noun. Choice B is incorrect as "Charlotte" is a singular proper noun. Choice C is incorrect as "German shepherd puppy" lacks a possessive form like in choice D.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The prefix 'circum' means around or surrounding. In the words circumference, circumnavigate, and circumstance, 'circum' indicates something that goes around or surrounds. Circumference refers to the distance around a circle, circumnavigate means to sail or travel around, and circumstance refers to a surrounding situation or condition. Therefore, the related meaning shared by these words is 'around' or 'surrounding.' Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the common theme of 'around' or 'surrounding' shared by the words in question.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because it effectively combines the three statements in a clear and concise manner. It states that the French and Indian War was not isolated in North America but rather part of a larger conflict known as the Seven Years' War in Europe. This answer maintains the chronological order of events and accurately represents the relationship between the wars. Choice A is incorrect as it incorrectly states that the French and Indian War did not occur in North America, which is not true. Choice B is incorrect as it confuses the names of the wars and does not provide a clear connection between them. Choice D is incorrect as it suggests that North America and Europe were fighting separate wars, which is not the case.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct order is C: I, II, III, IV. 1. Sentence I should come first to introduce the topic. 2. Sentence II provides background information supporting sentence I. 3. Sentence III presents the main idea following the introduction. 4. Sentence IV concludes the paragraph with a summary or concluding statement. Incorrect choices: A: IV, II, I, III - Incorrect order, as the main idea should come before the conclusion. B: III, IV, II, I - Incorrect order, as the main idea should come before background information. D: III, I, IV, II - Incorrect order, as the main idea should not come before the introduction.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The underlined portion "the student center" is a Noun Phrase because it functions as the object of the preposition "to." Noun phrases consist of a noun and any associated words, such as articles or adjectives. In this case, "the student center" acts as a single unit describing where new students should report. It does not contain a verb, so it cannot be a clause. It also does not modify a verb or adjective, ruling out adverbial or adjective phrases. Therefore, the correct answer is D: Noun phrase.
