TEAS Test English Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Identify the adverb in the sentence: 'She quickly finished her homework.'
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
Which sentence correctly uses the colon?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: "She had one wish: to visit Paris." A colon is used after a complete sentence to introduce a list, quotation, or explanation. In choice A, the colon is appropriately used after the complete sentence 'She had one wish' to introduce the explanation 'to visit Paris.' Choices B, C, and D incorrectly place the colon in positions that do not follow a complete sentence or do not properly introduce an explanation, making them grammatically incorrect.
Question 3 of 5
Surely, he thought, I can't trust this enticing yet dubious offer, although I could use the opportunity more than I'd like to admit. 'Although' is which part of speech?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: 'Although' is a conjunction because it connects two clauses in the sentence. In the given sentence, 'although' introduces a dependent clause ('although I could use the opportunity more than I'd like to admit') and connects it to the independent clause ('Surely, he thought, I can't trust this enticing yet dubious offer'). This conjunction shows the contrast between the two ideas. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'although' does not function as an adverb, preposition, or adjective in this context.
Question 4 of 5
Where can you typically find the thesis statement of an essay?
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.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following sentences correctly uses a transition word?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Choice A is the correct answer. 'Therefore' is correctly used as a transition word with proper punctuation in this sentence. In a compound sentence like this, a semicolon is used before the transition word to connect two independent clauses. Choice B is incorrect because it lacks the necessary punctuation to separate the independent clauses. Choice C is incorrect as a colon is not typically used before a transition word in this context. Choice D is incorrect because 'and' does not function as a transition word in this sentence.
