English TEAS Practice Test Questions

Question 1 of 5

Which of the following nouns is written in the correct plural form?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: potatoes. "Potatoes" is the correct plural form of the noun "potato" because it follows the standard English pluralization rule by adding "-es" to form the plural. In contrast, choices A, B, and C have irregular plural forms; "vertebrae" is the plural of "vertebra," "geese" is the plural of "goose," and "octopuses" is an incorrect plural form of "octopus" as the correct plural is "octopi" or "octopodes." Therefore, "potatoes" is the only noun in the list that is written in the correct plural form based on standard English pluralization rules.

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

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 4 of 5

On Parents' Day, a public holiday in the Democratic Republic of Congo, families celebrate parents' both living and deceased. Which of the following punctuation marks is used incorrectly?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. The comma following "Day" is unnecessary as it does not separate independent clauses or items in a list, making it an incorrect use of punctuation. The apostrophe in "Parents' Day" (choice A) is correct for indicating possession. The comma following "Congo" (choice C) is also correctly used to separate the location from the rest of the sentence. The apostrophe in "parents'" (choice D) is used to indicate possession of the parents, which is also correct. In summary, the incorrect use of a comma after "Day" in choice B makes it the correct answer.

Question 5 of 5

Which of the following phrases follows the rules of capitalization?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because it follows the rules of capitalization for titles and proper nouns. "Robert Jones" is capitalized as it is a specific person's name, and "Senator" is capitalized as it is a title when referring to a specific person. The other choices have incorrect capitalization. A should have "president" lowercase unless directly preceding the name, C should have "aunt" and "uncle" lowercase unless directly preceding the names, and D should have "New Year's Eve" capitalized as it is a proper noun.
