Practice English TEAS TEST Questions
Question 1 of 5
In the sentence 'The flustered man watched the train as it pulled out of the station,' which of the following is the simple subject?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The simple subject is the noun or pronoun that the sentence is about. In this sentence, the subject is 'man' because it is the entity performing the action of watching. 'The flustered man' is a noun phrase but not the simple subject as it includes an article and an adjective. 'Watched' is a verb and 'train' is the object of the action, not the subject.
Therefore, 'man' is the correct simple subject in this sentence.
Question 2 of 5
Based on the analysis of word parts, what is the meaning of the word 'bibliophile'?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. The term 'bibliophile' is derived from the Greek words 'biblio' meaning books and 'phile' meaning lover or enthusiast.
Therefore, a 'bibliophile' refers to a person who collects or has a great love of books.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of 'bibliophile.' An index at the back of a book is called a 'bibliography,' a compiled list of different books is a 'catalog,' and a place where books are kept is a 'library,' not a 'bibliophile.'
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is an example of a prepositional phrase?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'After the game.' A prepositional phrase consists of a preposition and its object, describing a relationship in time, location, or direction. In this case, 'After' is the preposition, and 'the game' is its object, making it a prepositional phrase.
Choices B, C, and D do not contain prepositional phrases.
Choice B, 'Running fast,' is a gerund phrase with an adverb modifying a verb.
Choice C, 'She sings,' is a subject-verb sentence construction.
Choice D, 'Can you help me?' is an interrogative sentence asking for assistance.
Question 4 of 5
She is a fierce competitor, and nothing is going to keep her from running that marathon despite a hamstring injury. Which of the following describes the grammar problem in the sentence above?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C, tense disagreement. The sentence contains a tense disagreement between 'was' and 'is.' 'She is a fierce competitor' and 'nothing is going to keep her' are in the present tense, while 'was going to keep her' should also be in the present tense to maintain consistency.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the issue in the sentence is related to verb tense, not diction, word choice, or transition words.
Question 5 of 5
Select the correct words to complete the following sentence: I have ____________ due tomorrow.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: a lot of homework'. In this case, 'homework' is an uncountable noun, so it does not take a plural form like 'homeworks'. The phrase 'a lot of' is used to quantify uncountable nouns, making it the appropriate choice in this context.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'homework' should not be pluralized, and the phrase 'many' is not suitable for uncountable nouns.
