TEAS Test English Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following punctuation marks is used incorrectly in the sentence? "Otto, somewhat abruptly, got up out of his chair, and just like that, headed into the next room."
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the semicolon after "that" is used incorrectly. Semicolons are typically used to connect two independent clauses or to separate items in a list when commas are already present. In this sentence, "just like that, headed into the next room" is not an independent clause, so a semicolon should not be used. A: The comma after "somewhat" is correct as it sets off the adverbial phrase. B: The comma after "Otto" is correct since it sets off the introductory element. D: The comma after "chair" is also correct as it sets off the introductory element before the main clause.
Question 2 of 5
I truly believe that one cup of coffee a day is neither too much nor too little caffeine for me, but exactly the right amount. Which of the following words is misspelled in the sentence above?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: caffeine. The word "caffeine" is misspelled in the sentence above as "caffiene." The correct spelling of the word is "caffeine." This misspelling changes the pronunciation and meaning of the word. The other choices (B: truly, C: neither, D: exactly) are spelled correctly and do not alter the meaning of the sentence. The misspelling "caffiene" deviates from the standard spelling of "caffeine," making it the correct answer in this context.
Question 3 of 5
Identify the adverb in the sentence: 'She quickly finished her homework.'
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Quickly. An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. In this sentence, "quickly" modifies the verb "finished," describing how the homework was completed. It answers the question of how she finished her homework. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because: A is a pronoun, B is a verb, and D is a noun. They do not describe how the action was done.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following words is an exception to a common spelling rule?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: changeable. This is because the word "changeable" is an exception to the common spelling rule where the silent "e" at the end of a word is usually dropped when adding a suffix starting with a vowel. In this case, when adding the suffix "-able" to "change," the silent "e" is retained, making it an exception to the rule. A: achievement follows the common spelling rule as the silent "e" is dropped when adding the suffix "-ment." B: operation follows the common spelling rule as the silent "e" is dropped when adding the suffix "-tion." D: deplorable follows the common spelling rule as the silent "e" is dropped when adding the suffix "-able."
Question 5 of 5
When Sofia went in for her yearly check-up, her doctor suggested that they do a blood test to get an update on her hypokalemia, since its decreasing levels were worrisome in the past.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Not enough. Hypokalemia refers to low levels of potassium in the blood. The term "decreasing levels" indicates that the potassium levels are dropping, meaning there is not enough potassium present in Sofia's blood. Therefore, the doctor suggests a blood test to monitor and address the hypokalemia. A: "Better" does not address the issue of low potassium levels. B: "Above" is not relevant as the concern is about low levels of potassium. C: "Too much" is the opposite of hypokalemia, which is characterized by low potassium levels.
