TEAS 7 English Practice Test

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, Compound-Complex. This type of sentence contains two or more independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. In this case, it combines a compound sentence (two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction) with a complex sentence (an independent clause and a dependent clause). Therefore, it meets the criteria for a compound-complex sentence. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the specific structure of this sentence. A compound sentence involves two independent clauses, a simple sentence consists of just one independent clause, and a complex sentence includes an independent clause and at least one dependent clause.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The word 'fresh' in the sentence is modifying the noun 'approach', indicating a quality or characteristic of the approach. Therefore, 'fresh' is functioning as an adjective in this context. Adjectives modify nouns by providing more information about them. In contrast, a noun names a person, place, thing, or idea; a verb expresses action or state of being; and an adverb modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect in this case.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, fame; famous. The suffix "-ous" in "famous" changes the meaning of the word "fame" by indicating that something or someone possesses or exhibits the quality of being well-known or widely recognized. In contrast, choices A, B, and C do not involve a suffix that alters the meaning of the base word in the same way. Choice A, fort; fortification, simply adds a suffix to form a related noun. Choice B, mount; dismount, involves a prefix that changes the meaning of the word, not a suffix. Choice C, flee; fleeing, adds a suffix that forms a present participle but does not change the fundamental meaning of the base word.

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.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because the sentence logically follows the previous sentence about the person's behavior during different activities. Moving it before the preceding sentence (B) disrupts the flow. Moving it to the end of the first paragraph (C) is unnecessary and disrupts the coherence. Omitting the sentence (D) would leave a gap in the narrative. Placing it where it is now (A) maintains the logical progression of the person's actions.
