TEAS 7 English Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Hampton was born and raised in Maywood of Chicago, Illinois in 1948. Which of the following is the correct punctuation for the sentence?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Option C correctly punctuates the sentence by placing commas after 'Chicago' and 'Illinois' to separate the location details and inserting a comma before 'in 1948' to separate the location from the date. This creates a clear and grammatically correct sentence. Choices A, B, and D incorrectly place the commas, leading to confusion or incorrect grouping of the location and date information.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following verb forms correctly completes the sentence? His charismatic personality, organizational abilities, sheer determination, and rhetorical skills enable him to quickly rise through the chapter's ranks.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Option C, 'enabled him to quickly rise,' is the correct choice. The sentence is referring to a past action, so the verb should be in the past tense. 'Enabled' is the correct past tense form of 'enable' in this context. Choice A ('NO CHANGE') is incorrect because it does not match the past tense required by the sentence. Option B ('are enabling him to quickly rise') is incorrect as it uses the present continuous tense, which is not suitable for the past action described. Choice D ('will enable him to quickly rise') is incorrect as it implies a future action, which is not consistent with the context of the sentence.
Question 3 of 5
Hampton's greatest achievement as the leader of the BPP may be his fight against street gang violence in Chicago. Which of these, if any, is misspelled?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: All the words in the sentence are spelled correctly, including 'achievement.' There is no misspelling present. 'Greatest,' 'achievement,' and 'leader' are all spelled correctly. Option A is correct as there is no misspelled word in the sentence. Choices B, C, and D are wrong because they are correctly spelled words in the context of the sentence.
Question 4 of 5
What does the prefix circum- mean in the word circumference?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The prefix 'circum-' means 'around,' which is the definition most related to 'circumference.' Circumference refers to the boundary that surrounds a circular shape. Choice A, 'Beyond,' is incorrect as it implies going further or exceeding a boundary. Choice B, 'After,' is not related to the concept of surrounding or encircling. Choice D, 'Before,' is also unrelated and denotes something occurring prior to a specific time or event.
Question 5 of 5
