TEAS English Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following uses a conjunction to combine the sentences below so the focus is on puppies requiring a lot of work? 'Puppies are fun-loving animals. They do require a lot of work.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Although puppies are fun-loving animals, they do require a lot of work. The conjunction "Although" is used to contrast the fun-loving nature of puppies with the fact that they require a lot of work, effectively emphasizing the latter. This choice maintains the focus on the idea that puppies require a lot of effort. Explanation for why other choices are incorrect: A: The semicolon in choice A does not effectively convey the contrast between the two ideas. B: The conjunction "so" in choice B implies a cause-and-effect relationship, which does not highlight the contrast between the fun-loving nature and the work required. C: The choice "since" in C implies a causal relationship rather than a contrasting one, which is not the intended focus.
Question 2 of 5
Select the correct definition of the underlined word having multiple meanings in the sentence: 'Natalie's fingers were calloused after practicing her bass.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. In the sentence, "practicing her bass" refers to playing a musical instrument with four strings that makes low sounds. This is evident as Natalie's fingers are calloused from playing the bass guitar. The other choices are incorrect because: A: "Kind of fish" does not make sense in the context of the sentence. B: "Low and deep sound" is not relevant to Natalie practicing her bass. C: "Lowest male singing voice" does not fit the context of the sentence.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following sentences uses the MOST formal language?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it uses formal language with polite phrasing and complete sentences. It avoids contractions and uses a more professional tone. Choice A is too casual with the use of contractions. Choice C is informal due to the use of "won't." Choice D is also informal with the use of contractions. In formal settings, it is essential to communicate politely and professionally, hence B is the most appropriate choice for formal language.
Question 4 of 5
Which pronoun would not work in the following sentence? 'I asked a colleague to bring it to you.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: whose. In the sentence, "I asked a colleague to bring it to you," the pronoun "whose" is not appropriate because it is used to indicate possession or ownership, while in this context, the pronoun needs to refer to the object being brought. The pronouns A, B, and C (my, our, your) can all correctly refer to the object in the sentence. Therefore, the pronoun "whose" does not work in this sentence.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following best describes the term monochromatic?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The term monochromatic means having one color. Mono means one, and chromatic relates to color. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B, having many parts, is incorrect because it does not relate to the term monochromatic. Choice C, having a lot of time, and choice D, having too much heat, are also incorrect as they have no relevance to the term's definition. In summary, the term monochromatic specifically refers to something that is of a single color, making choice A the correct answer.
