Practice English TEAS TEST

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because the quotation marks are correctly placed around the direct speech. The opening quotation mark comes before the spoken words "Did you finish your homework?" and the closing quotation mark comes after the spoken words. This format follows the standard rules for punctuating direct speech in English. Choice B is incorrect because it does not include any quotation marks around the spoken words. Choice C is incorrect because the closing quotation mark is incorrectly placed outside the spoken words. Choice D is incorrect because the quotation mark is incorrectly placed before "she asked," which is not part of the direct speech.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Informal. The passage provides practical and friendly advice on how to prepare for an interview, using a conversational tone. It uses simple language and a personal approach, which are characteristics of informal writing. The tone is not overly professional (formal), casual or familiar (colloquial), or using non-standard language (slang). This choice is the best fit as it aligns with the friendly and approachable style of the passage.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because a research paper typically requires citing sources to support arguments, hence a bibliography is essential to acknowledge these sources. In contrast, A is usually shorter and may not require extensive sourcing. C is a creative work with no need for formal citations. D is a personal reflection that doesn't typically involve external sources.

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: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: "outside." An adverb modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. In this sentence, "outside" modifies the verb "go" by indicating where the action is taking place. It answers the question "where should we go?" The other choices (A, B, C) are not adverbs. "We" is a pronoun, "should" is a modal verb, and "go" is the main verb. Therefore, "outside" is the only word that functions as an adverb in this sentence.
