English and Language Usage TEAS Questions
Question 1 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 2 of 5
Which of the following examples uses correct punctuation?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Option B is the correct answer because it correctly places the period inside the closing quotation mark, following the closing punctuation of the sentence. This is the standard punctuation rule for quotations in American English. Choice A is incorrect as it has an extra period outside the closing quotation mark. Choice C is incorrect as the period should come after the closing quotation mark. Choice D is incorrect as it lacks the initial space before the quotation, not adhering to proper punctuation rules.
Question 3 of 5
If you go to the market, please pick up some beef, carrots, and celery, and I will make some of that delicious stew we had last week. Which comma should be removed in the sentence above?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The comma after 'delicious' is unnecessary as it separates the adjective 'delicious' from the noun 'stew'. In this case, 'delicious' is describing the type of stew, so the comma should be removed to maintain correct sentence structure. The other commas in the sentence are correctly used to separate items in a list and after introductory phrases, making them necessary for clarity and grammatical correctness.
Question 4 of 5
According to the affixes, which of the following words refers to the love of books?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Bibliophile.' The term 'biblio-' is an affix that refers to books, and '-phile' denotes love or attraction. Therefore, 'bibliophile' specifically means a person who loves or collects books. Choice A, 'Logophile,' while containing the '-phile' suffix denoting love, relates to words instead of books. Choices C and D, 'Discophile' and 'Audiophile,' are incorrect as they respectively pertain to music records and sound systems, not books.
Question 5 of 5
In which of the following situations is the inclusion of a citation necessary?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. A citation is required when directly quoting another author's opinion to give credit and avoid plagiarism. Choices A, B, and D do not necessitate citations as they involve the author's own opinion, personal experience, and description of a play, respectively, without directly quoting another source.
