TEAS 7 English Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
If the word antibacterial describes a substance that kills bacteria, you can infer that the prefix anti-means:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Against.' The prefix 'anti-' means 'against,' as seen in the word 'antibacterial,' which denotes something that acts against bacteria. Choice A, 'Original to,' is incorrect as the prefix 'anti-' does not imply 'original to.' Choice C, 'Before,' is incorrect as 'anti-' does not signify 'before' but rather 'against.' Choice D, 'Under,' is also incorrect as 'anti-' does not convey the idea of being 'under' but rather 'against' in this context.
Question 2 of 5
Identify the sentence component of the underlined portion in the sentence: New students should report to the student center.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The underlined portion 'New students' is a noun phrase. In this sentence, 'New students' acts as the subject of the sentence, making it a noun phrase. A dependent clause is a group of words with a subject and a verb that cannot stand alone as a sentence. An adverbial phrase modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb in a sentence. An adjective clause is a group of words that describes a noun in the sentence. None of these definitions apply to the underlined portion in the sentence provided, making 'Noun phrase' the correct identification.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is the most likely setting of the scenario below? Walking along the Thames, Julianna saw a sign advertising a fish and chips shop. Since she felt a bit peckish, she made her way over to the queue.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The mention of the Thames, fish and chips, and queue strongly indicates a British setting. Fish and chips are a traditional British dish, and the Thames is a famous river in London, England. Additionally, forming a queue is a common practice in England. Therefore, based on these cultural clues, London, England, is the most likely setting of the scenario. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not align with the specific cultural references mentioned in the scenario.
Question 4 of 5
By examining the parts of each word, determine which of the following words refers to 'a drug that removes feeling or sensation.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Anaesthetic'. 'Anaesthetic' refers to a drug that removes feeling or sensation. The prefix 'ana-' means without, and the root 'esthetic' relates to sensation or feeling. 'Hyperalgesia' refers to increased sensitivity to pain, 'Subcranial' does not relate to drugs or removing sensation, and 'Hypoglycemic' refers to low blood sugar levels, not a drug that removes feeling or sensation.
Question 5 of 5
What kind of error is present in the following sentence? "The project requires researching, writing a report, and presenting findings."
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Parallelism. The sentence contains a parallelism error in the list of actions required for the project. In a series or list, all elements should be in the same grammatical form. In this sentence, 'researching' and 'writing' are in gerund form, but 'presenting' is in infinitive form. To ensure parallel structure, all items in the list should be in the same form. Therefore, the corrected version should read, "The project requires researching, writing a report, and presenting findings." Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. There are no sentence fragments, misplaced modifiers, or subject-verb agreement errors in the original sentence.
