TEAS 7 English Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Protestors filled the streets of the city because they were dissatisfied with the government's leadership. Which of the following is an appropriately-punctuated correction for this sentence?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. The sentence should be corrected by removing the period and joining the clauses to avoid a sentence fragment. Option A is incorrect because it incorrectly separates the clauses with a comma. Option B is incorrect as it incorrectly uses a comma after 'Protesters' and lacks proper structure. Option C is incorrect as it places the subordinate clause at the beginning, which disrupts the flow of the sentence.
Question 2 of 5
We rejoiced as 'hackers.' Which of the following is the best revision of the sentence?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Option C is the best revision as it provides clarity and context to the sentence. It conveys the idea that the individuals rejoiced after successfully finding a creative solution to a persistent technological issue.
Choice A is incorrect as it leaves the sentence unchanged without adding any context.
Choice B introduces the phrase 'nagging technology problem,' which alters the original meaning and is not as concise as the correct answer.
Choice D alters the sentence structure and does not effectively convey the intended meaning of rejoicing after finding a solution.
Question 3 of 5
What is the part of speech of the word 'fresh' in the sentence: 'We need to come up with a fresh approach to this problem'?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The word 'fresh' is functioning as an adjective in the sentence because it describes the noun 'approach.' In this context, 'fresh' provides a characteristic or quality of the approach, indicating that it is new or innovative.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Fresh' is not a noun (
A), as it is not the name of a person, place, thing, or idea. It is not a verb (
B) because it is not expressing an action or state of being. Additionally, 'fresh' is not an adverb (
C) that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb.
Therefore, the correct answer is D: 'Adjective.'
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following statements would require a citation?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because when referencing a specific report, publication, or statistic like 'gas prices are up 11% from last month,' a citation is necessary to provide credibility and allow readers to verify the information.
Choice A is a general statement about gasoline prices and does not require a citation as it is commonly known information.
Choice B is a personal observation and not a direct reference to a specific source that would require a citation.
Choice D is an anecdotal experience and does not present verifiable data that necessitates a citation.
Question 5 of 5
Fred Hampton desired to see lasting social change for African American people through nonviolent means and community recognition. Which of the following is the best way to start this sentence?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: 'As a result' correctly introduces the cause-and-effect relationship in the sentence. In this context, 'As a result' signifies that Fred Hampton's desire for lasting social change through nonviolent means and community recognition led to a specific outcome or consequence. The other choices, 'Unfortunately,' 'Finally,' and 'NO CHANGE,' do not fit the context as they do not convey the cause-and-effect relationship intended in the sentence.
