Practice English TEAS TEST Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following suffixes would change the verb 'manage' into an adjective?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct suffix to change the verb 'manage' into an adjective is '-able.' When added to 'manage,' it forms the adjective 'manageable,' which means capable of being managed.
Choice A ('-ed') is a past participle suffix, not an adjective-forming suffix.
Choice B ('-ible') is used to form adjectives meaning 'capable of' but is not the correct choice in this context.
Choice D ('-er') is typically used to form agent nouns rather than adjectives.
Question 2 of 5
Which sentence correctly uses quotation marks in connection with an indirect quote?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
Choice D correctly uses quotation marks to indicate the specific phrase 'the storm of a century.' In this sentence, the indirect quote is highlighted within the quotation marks.
Choices A, B, and C do not correctly use quotation marks with an indirect quote.
Choice A incorrectly places a comma inside the quotation marks, which should be outside.
Choice B does not have any quotation marks around the indirect quote.
Choice C uses double quotation marks unnecessarily around the indirect quote.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following words in the sentence is an adverb? We should go outside.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The word 'outside' is the adverb in the sentence. An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. In this sentence, 'outside' modifies the verb 'go' by indicating the location where the action is taking place.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'We' is a pronoun, 'should' is a modal verb, and 'go' is the main verb in the sentence, none of which function as adverbs.
