TEAS English Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
What verb tense is used in the underlined words in the following sentence? 'The doctor prescribed medicine after my son had been sick for four days.'
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A, past perfect. In the sentence, "had been sick" is in past perfect tense, indicating an action that occurred before another past action. "Had been" is the past perfect form of the verb "to be." This tense is used to show that an action was completed before another past action. The other choices are incorrect because: B: Present perfect is not used in the sentence. C: Past progressive is not used as there is no continuous action in the past. D: Present progressive is not used as the sentence is describing past events.
Question 2 of 5
How should the following clauses be connected: 'He ate a lot on vacation. He did not gain any weight.'
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "He ate a lot on vacation, but he did not gain any weight." This is the best choice because it indicates a contrast or contradiction between the two clauses. The first clause states that he ate a lot, and the second clause implies that despite eating a lot, he did not gain weight. This conjunction effectively highlights the unexpected outcome. Choice A: "He ate a lot on vacation if he did not gain any weight." This choice implies a conditional relationship that is not present in the original sentences. Choice C: "He ate a lot on vacation since he did not gain any weight." This choice suggests a causal relationship that is not supported by the original sentences. Choice D: "He ate a lot on vacation because he did not gain any weight." This choice implies a cause and effect relationship that does not align with the meaning of the original sentences.
Question 3 of 5
Select the meaning of the word 'somnambulist' in the sentence based on the context clues: 'If you wake up outside in your pajamas in the middle of the night, you may be a somnambulist.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Sleepwalker. The term 'somnambulist' in the sentence refers to someone who walks or performs activities while asleep. The context clue of waking up outside in pajamas at night suggests sleepwalking behavior. Other choices are incorrect because: A: Explorer - does not relate to the context of sleepwalking. B: Magician - does not fit with the context of sleeping and walking. C: Insomniac - someone who has trouble falling or staying asleep, not related to sleepwalking behavior.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following root words means far?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: tele. The root word "tele" means far in distance, such as in words like "telecommunication" or "telescope." This root is derived from the Greek word "tēle," meaning far or distant. The other choices, trans, post, and ante, do not have the primary meaning of far. "Trans" means across or beyond, "post" means after, and "ante" means before. Therefore, A is the correct choice as it directly relates to the concept of distance.
Question 5 of 5
What is the best definition of the word veritable?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Genuine. Veritable means true or real. It is the most suitable definition compared to the other choices. A - Noble, does not capture the essence of veritable. C - Forceful, and D - Exaggerated are opposite in meaning to veritable. Veritable implies authenticity, making choice B the best option.
