English TEAS Practice Test Questions

Question 1 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.

Question 2 of 5

Parrots, among the most intelligent birds in the world, have been prized pets for many centuries; in fact, the first recorded instance of parrot training was written in the thirteenth century. Which of the following is a synonym for prized as used in the sentence?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: valued. In the context of the sentence, "prized" is used to convey that parrots have been highly valued as pets for many centuries. The word "prized" implies that parrots are considered precious or highly esteemed. Therefore, a synonym for "prized" in this context would be "valued," as it captures the idea of something being highly regarded or treasured. A: Unlikely - This does not fit the context of the sentence as it does not convey the meaning of something being highly valued or esteemed. B: Misunderstood - This does not fit the context of the sentence as it does not convey the idea of something being highly valued or prized. C: Rewarded - This does not fit the context of the sentence as it does not convey the meaning of something being highly valued or treasured.

Question 3 of 5

Which of the following sentences has the correct subject-verb agreement?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B - "The employer decided that he could not, due to the high cost of health care, afford to offer other benefits to his employees." The subject "employer" is singular and agrees with the singular verb "decided." "He" is the singular pronoun that correctly refers back to the singular subject. The verb "could not afford" is in agreement with the singular subject "employer." Choice A has a plural subject "horse breed" and a singular verb "has," which is incorrect. Choice C has a singular subject "Puerto Rico" and a plural verb "includes," which is incorrect. Choice D has a singular subject "Each" and a singular verb "decides," but the pronoun "they" is incorrectly used instead of "he or she."

Question 4 of 5

Which of the following sentences follows the rules of capitalization?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because it follows the rules of capitalization by capitalizing proper nouns (Ukrainians, Malanka, Earth). Proper nouns, like specific names of people, places, or things, should always be capitalized. In contrast, choices A, C, and D have capitalization errors. In choice A, "African white-backed vultures" is a proper noun phrase that should be capitalized throughout. In choice C, "sun" and "earth" should be capitalized as they refer to celestial bodies. In choice D, "Father of Immunology" is a title that should be capitalized. Therefore, B is the correct choice as it demonstrates proper capitalization of proper nouns.

Question 5 of 5

Though the term nomad is often associated with early populations, nomadic cultures exist today, especially in the mountains of Europe and Asia. Which of the following punctuation marks is used incorrectly?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the apostrophe in "mountain's" is incorrect. The apostrophe is used to show possession or contraction, but in this case, it is not needed. "Mountain's" implies ownership or a contraction, which is not the intended meaning in the sentence. The correct form should be "mountains" to simply refer to the geographical locations. A: the comma after populations - The comma after populations is correct as it separates two clauses in the sentence. B: the comma after today - The comma after today is also correct as it sets off a non-essential element in the sentence. D: the period after Asia - The period after Asia is correct as it marks the end of the sentence.
