TEAS English Practice Test Questions
Question 1 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 2 of 5
In which of the following situations would you use formal language?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: At a Parent-Teacher meeting. Formal language is typically used in professional settings like meetings to show respect and professionalism. In this scenario, formal language is appropriate to discuss important matters related to a child's education and behavior. Texting a friend (A), a family reunion (B), and Skyping grandparents (C) are more casual settings where informal language is commonly used to maintain a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Using formal language in these situations may seem rigid or out of place.
Question 3 of 5
Select the correct verb to complete the following sentence: 'The girls on the team are excited to play in the championships.'
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: are. In the sentence, 'The girls on the team' is a plural subject, so a plural verb 'are' should be used to maintain subject-verb agreement. 'Is' (A) and 'am' (B) are singular verbs, so they do not match the plural subject. 'Ares' (D) is not a proper verb form in standard English grammar. Therefore, 'are' (C) is the correct choice to ensure grammatical accuracy and proper subject-verb agreement.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following root words means far?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: tele. The root word "tele" means far in distance, such as in words like "telecommunication" or "telescope." This root is derived from the Greek word "tēle," meaning far or distant. The other choices, trans, post, and ante, do not have the primary meaning of far. "Trans" means across or beyond, "post" means after, and "ante" means before. Therefore, A is the correct choice as it directly relates to the concept of distance.
Question 5 of 5
Select the word from the following sentence that has more than one meaning: 'Javier was overjoyed when he finally finished his application for college.'
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Application. In the sentence, 'application' has multiple meanings such as a formal request for something or a computer program. This makes it the word with more than one meaning. A: Overjoyed - Only has one meaning, extreme happiness. B: Finally - Only has one meaning, after a long time or at last. D: College - Has a single meaning, an educational institution.
