English TEAS Practice Test Questions
Question 1 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 2 of 5
Which of the following is correctly punctuated?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it uses commas to set off the non-restrictive clause "whose death shocked America in April of 2016." The commas indicate that this information is additional and not essential to the main sentence. Choice A is incorrect as it lacks the second comma after 2016. Choice C is incorrect as it uses dashes incorrectly, which should only be used to set off non-essential information. Choice D is incorrect as it correctly uses commas but lacks the second comma after 2016.
Question 3 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 4 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 5 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.
