English TEAS Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following sentences has correct pronoun-antecedent agreement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the pronoun "it" correctly refers back to its antecedent "number," both singular. In sentence C, the singular pronoun "it" matches the singular antecedent "number." This maintains agreement in number between the pronoun and its antecedent. Explanation for why the other choices are incorrect: A: The pronoun "it" in "it left" does not have a clear antecedent. B: The pronoun "they" does not agree with the singular antecedent "Each of the cars." D: The pronoun "they" does not have a clear antecedent, and there is a lack of agreement in number between the antecedent and pronoun.
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
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

Typically, water that has evaporated remains in the sky in cloud form for less than ten days before falling to Earth again as precipitation. Which of the following parts of speech is 'remains' as used in the sentence?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The word "remains" is a verb in the sentence. Here's why: 1. Function: It is the main verb in the sentence, indicating the action of the water staying in the sky. 2. Action: Verbs show actions or states of being, and "remains" shows the state of the water staying. 3. Inflection: Verbs can be inflected to show tense, mood, aspect, and agreement. In this case, "remains" is inflected for present tense. 4. Context: The word "remains" fits the sentence structure as a verb, connecting the subject (water) to the predicate (staying in the sky).
