English TEAS Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is a complex sentence?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because it contains both an independent clause ("interstellar travel is expected to be an even bigger challenge than interplanetary exploration") and a dependent clause ("because the distance between stars in the galaxy is far greater than the distance between planets"). This structure makes it a complex sentence. Choice A is incorrect because it is a simple sentence. Choice B is incorrect as it is a compound sentence. Choice D is also incorrect as it is a complex sentence due to the dependent clause at the beginning, but the main clause is missing.
Question 2 of 5
Unlike a traditional comic book, a graphic novel is released as one single publication, either in the form of one long story or an anthology. Which of the following is an appropriate synonym for traditional as it is used in the sentence?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: conventional. The word "traditional" in the context of the sentence refers to the usual or standard way of something being done. In this case, it contrasts with the unique format of a graphic novel. "Old-fashioned" is not the best synonym here as it implies outdatedness rather than the standard way of doing something. "Expensive" and "popular" do not relate to the idea of being standard or usual. "Conventional" best captures the meaning of "traditional" in this context.
Question 3 of 5
First and foremost, they receive an annual pension payment. T has been reviewed and changed a number of times, most recently to reflect the salary of a high-level government executive. Which of the following would NOT be an acceptable way to revise and combine the underlined portion of the sentences above?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because it introduces unnecessary information ("over the years since 1958") that is not relevant to the context of the sentence. The sentence is focused on the recent changes in the pension payment to reflect the salary of a high-level government executive. Choice A, B, and D all effectively revise and combine the underlined portion by maintaining clarity and conciseness. Choice A and D use a relative pronoun ("which") to refer back to the "annual pension payment," and choice B uses a semicolon to separate the two clauses effectively. Therefore, C is the incorrect choice as it introduces irrelevant information and disrupts the flow of the sentence.
Question 4 of 5
Today, astrophysicists study the same stars that were observed by the astronomers of the ancient world, though today's techniques and technology are much more advanced. Which of the following is misspelled in the sentence?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: astronomers. This is misspelled as "astronomers" has an extra letter 'e' in the middle. The word should be spelled as "astronomers." A: astrophysicists - spelled correctly. C: techniques - spelled correctly. D: technology - spelled correctly.
Question 5 of 5
The patient's preoperative evaluation is scheduled for next Wednesday. In the sentence, the prefix pre- indicates that the evaluation will take place at which of the following times?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The prefix "pre-" means before. In this context, "preoperative" means before the operation. Therefore, the evaluation will take place before the operation. The other choices are incorrect because they do not align with the meaning of the prefix "pre-": B: After the operation - This contradicts the prefix "pre-." C: During the operation - This contradicts the prefix "pre-." D: Outside of the operation - This is not related to the prefix "pre-."
