Practice English TEAS TEST

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because the peer review process involves experts evaluating the quality and validity of a research paper, which requires time and attention to ensure thorough assessment. Reviewers provide constructive feedback to improve the paper's credibility. Choice A is incorrect because peer review does not guarantee acceptance. Choice C is incorrect as it is not always straightforward due to the complexity of research. Choice D is incorrect because peer review is a rigorous process that does not enable instant publication.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because the modifier "Running through the park" should be placed next to the word it is modifying. In this case, it seems like the dog is running through the park, but the intended meaning is that I am the one running. The other choices correctly place the modifier next to the word it is modifying. B links "running through the park" to "the dog," C links "through the park" to "chased me," and D links "while running through the park" to "I saw the dog."

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because it follows the rules of punctuation and capitalization. In this sentence, the dialogue is enclosed in double quotation marks, there is a comma before the closing quotation mark, and the first word of the dialogue is capitalized. Additionally, the tag "she said" is correctly punctuated with a comma after "amazing" and is not capitalized. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. Choice A does not have proper punctuation before the closing quotation mark and incorrectly capitalizes "She said." Choice B incorrectly uses a semicolon before the second part of the dialogue. Choice C incorrectly capitalizes "She said" and does not have a comma after "amazing."

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Correct Answer: B Rationale: In sentence B, the pronoun "she" correctly refers to the antecedent "doctor," maintaining agreement in both gender and number. The pronoun "she" matches with the singular noun "doctor," making it the correct choice. Summary of Incorrect Choices: A: The pronoun "they" does not agree with the singular antecedent "students." C: The pronoun "they" does not agree with the singular noun "choir," creating a lack of agreement. D: The pronoun "its" does not agree with the plural antecedent "party of five," leading to incorrect pronoun-antecedent agreement.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because it specifically refers to the "oldest person in my family," indicating a direct relationship to the family and age comparison within the family. Choices A and B are vague and do not specify the family connection. Choice D is too broad and does not specify any particular individual within the family. Therefore, option C is the most appropriate choice based on the context of the question.
