Practice English TEAS TEST

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because the modifier "Running through the park" should be placed next to the word it is modifying. In this case, it seems like the dog is running through the park, but the intended meaning is that I am the one running. The other choices correctly place the modifier next to the word it is modifying. B links "running through the park" to "the dog," C links "through the park" to "chased me," and D links "while running through the park" to "I saw the dog."

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Apology, Apologize. When the suffix "-ize" is added to "Apology," it transforms the noun into a verb, creating "Apologize." This suffix is commonly used to convert nouns into verbs by indicating the action of performing the noun. Choices A, C, and D do not follow this pattern. Biology and Biologist are related but do not change from noun to verb. Happy and Happily are an adjective and an adverb, respectively. Mineral and Mineralogy are both nouns, with the latter being a field of study related to minerals.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: "who". In this case, "who" is used as the subject pronoun to refer to the person performing the action (John Smith). Since John Smith is the one taking the action of photographing the landscape, we use "who" to introduce the relative clause. Using "which" (B) would be incorrect as it is used to refer to things, not people. "Whom" (C) is used as an object pronoun, which is not appropriate in this context. "That" (D) is used for defining relative clauses for both people and things, but "who" is preferred when referring to people to maintain clarity and proper grammar.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: is. In this sentence, "She" is the subject, which is singular. Therefore, the correct verb form to use with a singular subject is "is." The verb "is" is the present tense form of the verb "to be" that agrees with the singular subject "She." Summary: - Choice B: are is incorrect because it is the plural form of the verb "to be" and does not agree with the singular subject "She." - Choice C: were is incorrect because it is the past tense form of the verb "to be" and does not fit the present tense context of the sentence. - Choice D: am is incorrect because it is the first-person singular form of the verb "to be" and does not match the third-person singular subject "She."

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The simple subject is the main noun or pronoun that the sentence is about. In this sentence, 'man' is the simple subject as it is the main focus of the sentence and performs the action of watching the train. 'The flustered man' is a noun phrase that provides additional description but is not the main subject. 'Watched' is a verb, not the subject. 'Train' is the object of the sentence, not the subject. Therefore, choice A, 'man,' is the correct simple subject in this sentence.
