TEAS Test English Questions - Nurselytic

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Bucks.' In informal language, 'bucks' is commonly used as slang for dollars or money. This usage deviates from formal language and is considered slang. The other choices ('A', 'C', and 'D') are standard English terms and do not carry the same informal connotation as 'bucks.'

Correct Answer: A

Rationale:
Choice A is the correct answer as it directly addresses the writing prompt by focusing on a specific threat faced by a national park in the United States, which is the rising sea level affecting Florida's Everglades National Park. This choice provides a clear thesis statement for a research report on the topic.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect.
Choice B provides general information about the Grand Canyon but does not discuss any threats it is facing.
Choice C is not relevant to the prompt as it talks about accidents on a specific highway within Glacier National Park rather than broader threats to the park itself.
Choice D is about a personal experience at Acadia National Park and does not address any threats the park may be experiencing.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'On the 5:30 train.' This is a sentence fragment because it does not contain a subject and a verb. In this case, 'On the 5:30 train' is a prepositional phrase, not a complete sentence.

Choices A, C, and D are complete sentences as they have both a subject and a verb, making them grammatically correct and not sentence fragments.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The thesis statement of an essay is usually located in the introduction. This is where the author establishes the main idea or argument that will be developed throughout the essay. The conclusion (
Choice
A) summarizes the main points and restates the thesis but does not introduce it. Body paragraphs (
Choice
C) provide supporting details and arguments, while the bibliography (
Choice
D) lists the sources used in the essay, not the thesis statement.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale:
Choice C is the correct answer because it properly uses quotation marks to indicate a direct quote within the sentence ('My history presentation was great!').

Choices A, B, and D contain direct quotes but fail to use quotation marks, making them incorrect. In choice A, the direct question 'How was your day?' should be enclosed in quotation marks. In choice B, the direct quote 'It was awesome.' should also be enclosed in quotation marks. In choice D, the direct statement 'That's wonderful!' should be enclosed in quotation marks.
