TEAS English Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which word(s) in the following sentence should be capitalized? 'She asked, Do you like Indian food?'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In the given sentence, the words that should be capitalized are 'She,' 'do,' and 'Indian.' 'She' needs to be capitalized as it is the pronoun referring to a person, 'do' should be capitalized as it is the beginning of a question, and 'Indian' should be capitalized as it refers to a specific nationality or culture.
Choice A is incorrect as 'do' is missing.
Choice B is incorrect as 'Indian' is not capitalized.
Choice C is incorrect as 'Indian' is not capitalized.
Therefore, the correct answer is D.
Question 2 of 5
In which of the following situations would it be best to use informal language?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is writing a postcard (
Choice
B). A postcard is a casual form of communication, typically sent to friends or family, making it a suitable context for informal language. Using informal language in a seminar (
Choice
A) would be inappropriate as it is a formal setting where professional language is expected. Talking to your boss (
Choice
C) and participating in a professional conference (
Choice
D) also require formal language to maintain professionalism and respect for the workplace environment.
Question 3 of 5
Select the subject with which the underlined verb must agree: 'Everyone I know has the day off, but my boss wants me to work.'
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Everyone.' In the sentence, the verb 'has' must agree with the singular subject 'Everyone.' 'I,' 'day,' and 'boss' are not the subjects that the verb 'has' must agree with. 'I' is the object pronoun, 'day' is the object of the preposition 'off,' and 'boss' is part of the second clause and not the subject that governs the verb agreement in the first clause.
Question 4 of 5
Select the context clue from the following sentence that helps you define the word pungent: 'The pungent odor in the room made everyone's eyes tear for a few minutes.'
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: odor.' In the sentence provided, 'odor' serves as the context clue that helps define 'pungent' as a strong smell. The word 'pungent' commonly refers to something having a sharply strong scent, and 'odor' directly relates to this meaning in the sentence.
Choices 'B: room,' 'C: made,' and 'D: tear' do not provide contextual information about the meaning of 'pungent,' making them incorrect choices for defining the word in this context.
Question 5 of 5
What is the correct plural form of the noun 'class'?
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.
