English TEAS Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following prefixes would be used to indicate that something is inside or within?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: intra-. The prefix "intra-" is used to indicate something is inside or within. For example, intracellular means inside the cell. The prefix "trans-" indicates across or beyond, "anti-" indicates against or opposite, and "hyper-" indicates excessive or above normal. Therefore, A is the correct choice as it aligns with the meaning of inside or within.
Question 2 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 3 of 5
Everyday items like potatoes, bread, onions, and even saliva are the tools of art conservators, who work to clean and restore works of art. Which of the following is misspelled in the sentence above?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: potatoes. The word "potatoes" is misspelled because it should be spelled with only one "o" in the middle, not two as in the given sentence. It should be "potatos." The other choices, B: saliva, C: conservators, and D: restore are spelled correctly. Saliva refers to the liquid in the mouth, conservators are professionals who preserve and restore works of art, and restore means to bring something back to its original condition. Therefore, the misspelling in the sentence is specifically with the word "potatoes."
Question 4 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 5 of 5
Her new tennis racket cost her a hundred dollars, but it was worth the steep price tag. Which of the following words from the sentence is slang?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: dollars. In this sentence, "dollars" is the only word that is considered slang as it is a colloquial term for currency. "Cost" is a standard verb, "steep" is an adjective, and "tag" is a noun. Using slang terms in formal writing should be avoided, so "dollars" is the inappropriate choice in this context.
