TEAS English Questions

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B (second; first). The underlined words "I am planning" indicate a first-person point of view, as the speaker is referring to themselves. The words "You should know" indicate a second-person point of view, as the speaker is addressing the listener directly. Therefore, the point of view indicated in the sentence is a combination of second-person and first-person perspectives. Choice A (third; second) is incorrect because the sentence does not contain any third-person perspective. Choice C (first; second) is incorrect as it reverses the order of the perspectives in the sentence. Choice D (first; third) is incorrect because there is no indication of a third-person perspective in the sentence.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Suffix; verb; noun. - 'Tion' is a suffix added to verbs to form nouns. - Suffixes are added at the end of a word to change its meaning or function. - Therefore, '-tion' turns a verb (action word) into a noun (person, place, thing, or idea). Other choices are incorrect because: B: Affixes can be prefixes, suffixes, or infixes but '-tion' is specifically a suffix, not an affix in general. C: Prefixes are added at the beginning of a word, not at the end like '-tion'. D: Infixes are inserted within a word, which is not the case for '-tion'.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Regardless. This transitional word indicates contrast by showing a disregard for previous information or circumstances. It signals a shift in focus or perspective, highlighting a contradiction or opposing idea. In contrast, B: Furthermore, C: Subsequently, and D: It may appear do not explicitly convey contrast. "Furthermore" indicates continuation or additional information, "Subsequently" suggests a sequence of events, and "It may appear" introduces a possibility without necessarily contrasting with previous information.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: fought. In the sentence, "fought" is the only word that functions as a verb, indicating an action (past tense of fight). "Control," "trade," and "those" are all nouns or adjectives, not verbs. Verbs show action or state of being, while nouns and adjectives describe or identify. Therefore, "fought" is the only word in the choices that fits the criteria of being a verb in the sentence, making it the correct answer.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because "had seen" is the correct past perfect tense form of the verb "see" in this context. The sentence structure follows the correct sequence of past perfect and simple past tense. Choice B is incorrect because "had saw" is not the correct past perfect form. Choice C is incorrect because it uses "seen" instead of "saw" after "had," which is incorrect. Choice D is incorrect because it uses "had saw" and "seen" in the same sentence, which is grammatically incorrect. Overall, choice A is the only option that maintains correct verb tense and form.
