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: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because it correctly uses commas to set off the direct quotation "Remember the better days." Commas are necessary to separate the direct quote from the rest of the sentence. Incorrect Answer A lacks a comma before the opening quotation mark, which is incorrect punctuation. Incorrect Answer C is incorrect as it lacks quotation marks around the direct quote. Incorrect Answer D is incorrect because it lacks commas to separate the direct quote.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because both "as a class" and "into small groups" are prepositional phrases. A prepositional phrase consists of a preposition (as, into), its object (class, groups), and any modifiers (a, small). "When we arrive" is not a prepositional phrase as "when" is a subordinating conjunction, not a preposition, making choice B incorrect. Choice D correctly identifies both prepositional phrases while excluding the non-prepositional phrase in choice B.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because it establishes the focus of the essay on the potential outcomes of global climate change as projected by dedicated scientists. It sets the tone for exploring future scenarios and highlights the expertise of scientists in the field. Choice A is incorrect as it focuses on the current effects of climate change rather than setting the essay's direction towards future projections. Choice B is incorrect as it dwells on the debate of whether climate change is happening and who causes it, which does not directly relate to the essay's title. Choice D is incorrect as it emphasizes the lack of consensus among scientists rather than the content or theme of the essay.
