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

What is missing from the following sentence: 'He asked, When is the assignment due?'

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because the sentence is a direct quotation and should be enclosed in quotation marks. The sentence is a reported speech where 'He asked' is followed by the actual question asked. The proper punctuation for direct quotations is to enclose the quoted words in quotation marks. The other choices are incorrect because a semicolon after 'asked' is unnecessary as there is no independent clause following it, a comma after 'assignment' is unnecessary as it would create a comma splice, and choice D is incorrect because quotation marks are indeed missing.

Question 3 of 5

Which of the following is an example of a complex sentence?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because it contains an independent clause "Tabitha tried rock climbing" and a dependent clause "despite having a fear of heights." This structure meets the criteria for a complex sentence. The other choices lack the combination of an independent and dependent clause, making them incorrect. Choice A is a compound sentence with two independent clauses joined by a comma and a coordinating conjunction. Choice B is a compound sentence with two independent clauses separated by a semicolon. Choice C is a compound sentence with two independent clauses joined by "and."

Question 4 of 5

Fill in the blank with the correct subordinating conjunction: '... the class was difficult, Allison passed with flying colors.'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Although. This subordinating conjunction is used to show contrast between two clauses. In this context, it indicates that despite the difficulty of the class, Allison still passed with flying colors. The other choices do not convey the intended meaning. A (If) implies a condition, B (Since) implies a causal relationship, and C (Because) implies reason, none of which align with the contrast presented in the sentence.

Question 5 of 5

What is the correct plural form of the noun 'class'?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct plural form of 'class' is 'classes' because it follows the standard English rule for forming plurals by adding 'es' to nouns ending in 's'. In this case, 'class' ends in 's'. Therefore, adding 'es' makes it plural. Choice A is incorrect because it is the singular form. Choice B, using an apostrophe to show plurality, is incorrect as well as it indicates possession, not pluralization. Choice C, adding an apostrophe and 's', is incorrect because it also shows possession, not plurality. Overall, 'classes' is the correct plural form of 'class' as it adheres to the rules of English grammar for forming plurals.
