TEAS English Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which version of the sentence is correct grammatically?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because "had seen" is the correct past perfect tense form of the verb "see" in this context. The sentence structure follows the correct sequence of past perfect and simple past tense. Choice B is incorrect because "had saw" is not the correct past perfect form. Choice C is incorrect because it uses "seen" instead of "saw" after "had," which is incorrect. Choice D is incorrect because it uses "had saw" and "seen" in the same sentence, which is grammatically incorrect. Overall, choice A is the only option that maintains correct verb tense and form.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following substitutions best captures the meaning of the word 'egregious' in the sentence: 'The errors were becoming so frequent and egregious that the company had no choice but to force the humbled administrator into early retirement'?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Rationale: The word 'egregious' means outstandingly bad or shocking. In the given sentence, the errors are described as frequent and egregious, suggesting they are noticeably bad. Among the choices, 'flagrant' best captures this meaning as it also means conspicuously bad or offensive. 'Thoughtless' is synonymous with careless, which aligns with the idea of bad errors. 'Bizarre' means strange or unusual, not necessarily bad. 'Minor' contradicts the severity implied by 'egregious.' Therefore, 'flagrant' is the correct choice as it best reflects the meaning of 'egregious' in the context of the sentence.
Question 3 of 5
The student feared she would fail, so she thought she should study harder. Which of the following is a correct revision of the ambiguous sentence above?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it clarifies the cause-and-effect relationship between studying harder and avoiding failure. The original sentence is ambiguous about whether the student is already failing or just fearful of failing. Choice D removes ambiguity by clearly stating that not studying harder will lead to failure. Choice A introduces a new condition related to failing out of school, which is not present in the original sentence. Choice B introduces direct speech and changes the context of the sentence. Choice C changes the meaning by implying the fear is about failing out during exams, not in general.
Question 4 of 5
In the words proactive, progress, and projecting, pro- is a(n) _______ and means _______.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. In the words proactive, progress, and projecting, "pro-" is a prefix that means before/forward/front. This is evident in the meanings of the words themselves. Proactive means taking action before a situation arises, progress means moving forward, and projecting means extending or thrusting forward. Therefore, "pro-" in these words indicates something happening before or moving forward. The other choices are incorrect because "pro-" in these words does not indicate good/on top of/over (A), after/behind/in back of (C), or against/under/below (D).
Question 5 of 5
They were able to reach the deck fastest to get a seat on a lifeboat. Which of the following sentences is written correctly and provides a clear explanation?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. This sentence structure uses "Because of this" to introduce the reason for the survivors coming from first class and being able to reach the deck fastest. The use of "as" further clarifies the cause and effect relationship. Choice A lacks a clear connection between the first part of the sentence and the reason provided. Choice C lacks a conjunction to link the two parts of the sentence. Choice D is similar to choice B, but the conjunction "as" is more appropriate for showing the relationship between the two clauses.
