English and Language Usage TEAS Questions

Question 1 of 5

Identify the main clause in the sentence: 'Although she was tired, she finished her work on time.'

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The main clause is the independent clause that can stand alone as a complete sentence. In this sentence, 'She finished her work on time' is the main clause because it expresses a complete thought independently. Choices A and B are subordinate clauses as they cannot stand alone as complete sentences. Choice D lacks the subject 'she,' making it incomplete and not a main clause.

Question 2 of 5

What kind of error is present in the following sentence? 'This summer, I'm planning to travel to Italy, take a Mediterranean cruise, going to Pompeii, and eat a lot of Italian food.'

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The sentence lacks parallel structure. The list of actions in the sentence should be presented in the same grammatical form. 'Travel to Italy,' 'take a Mediterranean cruise,' and 'go to Pompeii' should all be in the same form. To correct this, the sentence should be revised to: 'travel to Italy, take a Mediterranean cruise, visit Pompeii, and eat a lot of Italian food.' Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. The sentence is a complete sentence, not a fragment. There are no misplaced modifiers, and subject-verb agreement is not the issue in this sentence.

Question 3 of 5

According to the prefix 'intra-,' which of the following is the best definition of the word 'intravenous'?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The prefix 'intra-' means 'within,' so 'intravenous' refers to something within veins. Choice A, 'Across veins,' is incorrect as 'intra-' does not indicate movement across but within. Choice B, 'Between veins,' is incorrect because 'intra-' does not imply a relationship between two separate veins. Choice D, 'Outside veins,' is incorrect as 'intra-' signifies something inside or within, not outside.

Question 4 of 5

Robert needed to find at least four sources for his final project, so he searched several library databases for reliable academic research. Which words function as nouns in the preceding sentence?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: In the sentence provided, the words that function as nouns are 'Robert,' 'sources,' 'project,' 'databases,' and 'research.' These words are all objects or concepts that can be referenced or identified in a sentence as nouns. Choice B includes adjectives ('final,' 'academic') which describe other nouns rather than being nouns themselves. Choice C includes a pronoun ('he') which is not a noun. Choice D lacks the noun 'Robert' which is a subject in the sentence.

Question 5 of 5

At last night's company function, in honor of Mr. Robertson's retirement, several employees spoke kindly about his career achievements. In the preceding sentence, what part of speech is the word function?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: In the sentence provided, the word 'function' is used as a noun to refer to an event or gathering. Nouns name people, places, things, or ideas, and in this case, 'function' is a thing (an event), so it functions as a noun. Adjectives describe nouns, adverbs modify verbs, and verbs express actions or states, none of which apply to the word 'function' in the sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is 'D: Noun.' Choices 'A: Adjective,' 'B: Adverb,' and 'C: Verb' are incorrect because 'function' in this context isn't being used to describe, modify, or express an action; it is naming an event.
