TEAS English Questions Questions

Question 1 of 5

What type of sentence is the sentence above?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The given sentence, "You are a tutor," is a simple sentence as it consists of only one independent clause without any dependent clauses. It contains a subject ("You") and a predicate ("are a tutor"). Therefore, the correct answer is A: Simple. The other choices are incorrect because a complex sentence would require at least one independent clause and one dependent clause, a compound sentence would consist of two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction, and a compound-complex sentence would have multiple independent clauses and at least one dependent clause.

Question 2 of 5

The words 'aerobics' and 'aeronautics' both have the prefix 'aero' in common. What does 'aero' mean?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The prefix 'aero' in 'aerobics' and 'aeronautics' refers to air. 'Aerobics' involves physical exercise that stimulates the respiratory and circulatory systems, while 'aeronautics' deals with the science of flight in the atmosphere. Therefore, 'aero' in these contexts pertains to air-related activities. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'aero' does not signify light, speed, or distance in these words, but rather air.

Question 3 of 5

"I would like to go with you; however, I won't have time." In this sentence, what part of speech is the word "however"?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Conjunctive adverb. "However" is used to connect two independent clauses and shows contrast. It functions as an adverb modifying the whole sentence. It is not a preposition (A) as it doesn't show a relationship between nouns. It is not a conjunction (B) as it is not joining two clauses without modifying them. It is not a subordinating conjunction (D) as it doesn't introduce a dependent clause.

Question 4 of 5

Which of the following best explains the meaning of extraneous as it is used in the sentence? The report was filled with extraneous details that had nothing to do with the main findings of the study.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: irrelevant. Extraneous means unnecessary or irrelevant in this context. The sentence indicates that the details mentioned in the report were not related to the main findings, making them extraneous. Choice A, sophisticated, does not align with the context of the sentence. Choice C, diligent, does not convey the idea of being unnecessary. Choice D, useful, is the opposite of extraneous, as extraneous details are not useful in this context. Therefore, the best explanation for extraneous in this sentence is irrelevant.

Question 5 of 5

The term anaesthetic refers to medication that causes a temporary loss of feeling or sensation. Based on the meaning of the word in medical usage, what is the most likely meaning of the prefix an-?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The prefix "an-" in medical terminology typically indicates "without." In this case, "anaesthetic" means without sensation. The medication causes a temporary loss of feeling, indicating the absence of sensation. Therefore, the correct answer is A: without. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the meaning of the term anaesthetic in medical usage. "Against" (choice B) would imply opposing sensation, "away" (choice C) would suggest the removal of sensation, and "before" (choice D) does not relate to the concept of sensation in this context.
