TEAS 7 English Practice Test

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Parallelism. In the given sentence, the list of actions should be in parallel form to maintain clarity and coherence. The correct structure should be "requires researching, writing, and presenting." This ensures consistency in the form of the verbs. Other choices are incorrect because the sentence is not a fragment, there are no misplaced modifiers, and subject-verb agreement is not the issue here.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: "Research proves that." Transition sentences typically help connect ideas between paragraphs, indicating a shift in topic or introducing a new point. This phrase does not serve as a transition; rather, it introduces a new idea or evidence. Choices A, C, and D are examples of common transition phrases that help maintain coherence and flow within a paragraph.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Complex. The sentence contains an independent clause "The restaurant is unconventional" and a dependent clause "because it serves both Chicago-style pizza and New York-style pizza." The dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence, making it a subordinate clause. This sentence structure meets the criteria for a complex sentence. The other choices are incorrect because: A) Simple sentences contain only one independent clause, B) Compound sentences have two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction, and D) Compound-complex sentences contain two or more independent clauses and at least one dependent clause.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Firstly, "anaesthetic" is the correct answer as it refers to a drug that removes feeling or sensation. "An-" means without or lack of, and "-esthetic" refers to feeling or sensation. The prefix "ana-" in "anaesthetic" indicates the drug negates sensation. In contrast, A, hyperalgesia, refers to increased sensitivity to pain, the opposite of removing sensation. B, subcranial, means below the skull and is unrelated to the removal of sensation. C, hypoglycemic, refers to low blood sugar levels and is not related to removing feeling or sensation.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because it maintains the correct tense consistency in the sentence. The original sentence is in the past tense, so "we would wake up, eat breakfast, and break camp" maintains that past tense form. Choice A is incorrect as it does not make any necessary changes. Choice C is a question form which changes the meaning of the sentence. Choice D changes the tense to present continuous which is incorrect as the sentence is describing a habitual action in the past.
