TEAS English Practice Test - Nurselytic

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct conjunction is 'Although.' In this sentence, there is a contrast being made between the difficulty of the class and Allison's success, indicating that despite the class being difficult, she excelled. 'If' implies a condition, 'Since' indicates a reason, and 'Because' shows causation, which do not fit the context of the sentence where a contrast is being expressed.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: At a Parent-Teacher meeting. A Parent-Teacher meeting is a formal setting where professional communication is expected. Using formal language in this context shows respect and professionalism.

Choices A, B, and C involve informal or casual situations where using formal language may not be necessary or appropriate. Texting a friend, attending a family reunion, or Skyping with grandparents are typically more informal interactions where a more relaxed communication style is acceptable.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct definition of the word translucent is letting some light through. Translucent materials allow light to pass through, but they are not completely clear or transparent, unlike transparent materials.
Choice A, 'Blocking all light,' is incorrect because translucent materials do not block all light.
Choice B, 'Blinding with light,' is incorrect as it does not describe the property of translucency.
Choice C, 'Giving off colorful light,' is also incorrect as it does not accurately define the term translucent.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct plural form of the noun 'class' is 'classes.' When forming the plural of 'class,' you add 'es' to the singular form.

Choices A, B, and C do not correctly represent the plural form of 'class' and are therefore incorrect.
Choice A is the singular form, choice B is incorrect as it includes an apostrophe, and choice C shows possession which is not required for pluralization.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. A complex sentence consists of an independent clause and at least one dependent clause. In this case, 'Tabitha tried rock climbing' is the independent clause, and 'despite having a fear of heights' is the dependent clause, making it a complex sentence.
Choice A has been corrected to include a complete dependent clause, 'despite her fear of heights.'
Choice B is incorrect because the semicolon does not appropriately connect the clauses.
Choice C is incorrect as it combines two independent clauses without a dependent clause.
Therefore, only choice D correctly forms a complex sentence with an independent and dependent clause.
