TEAS 7 English Practice Test Questions

Question 1 of 5

What is the structure of the following sentence: The restaurant is unconventional because it serves both Chicago-style pizza and New York-style pizza?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The sentence is a complex sentence because it consists of an independent clause 'The restaurant is unconventional' and a dependent clause 'because it serves both Chicago-style pizza and New York-style pizza.' In a complex sentence, an independent clause can stand alone as a sentence, but a dependent clause cannot. Choice A is incorrect because a simple sentence contains just one independent clause. Choice B is incorrect as a compound sentence joins two independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction. Choice D is incorrect as a compound-complex sentence contains at least two independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses.

Question 2 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 3 of 5

What is the part of speech of the word 'fresh' in the sentence: 'We need to come up with a fresh approach to this problem'?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The word 'fresh' is functioning as an adjective in the sentence because it describes the noun 'approach.' In this context, 'fresh' provides a characteristic or quality of the approach, indicating that it is new or innovative. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Fresh' is not a noun (A), as it is not the name of a person, place, thing, or idea. It is not a verb (B) because it is not expressing an action or state of being. Additionally, 'fresh' is not an adverb (C) that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. Therefore, the correct answer is D: 'Adjective.'

Question 4 of 5

What is the structure of the following sentence: The restaurant is unconventional because it serves both Chicago-style pizza and New York-style pizza?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The sentence is a complex sentence because it consists of an independent clause 'The restaurant is unconventional' and a dependent clause 'because it serves both Chicago-style pizza and New York-style pizza.' In a complex sentence, an independent clause can stand alone as a sentence, but a dependent clause cannot. Choice A is incorrect because a simple sentence contains just one independent clause. Choice B is incorrect as a compound sentence joins two independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction. Choice D is incorrect as a compound-complex sentence contains at least two independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses.

Question 5 of 5

Which transitional word would be the best option to represent the logical link between these two sentences? I often have heard arguments claiming that complete freedom of speech could lead to dangerous situations. Without complete freedom of speech, can it truly be said that we live in a free society?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'However.' In this context, the transitional word 'However' is used to introduce a contrast between the two sentences. The first sentence presents an argument about the potential dangers of complete freedom of speech, while the second questions the notion of living in a free society without such freedom. 'However' establishes a logical link by indicating a shift or contradiction in ideas. Choice B, 'Therefore,' would imply a cause-and-effect relationship, which is not supported by the content of the sentences. Choice C, 'So,' would indicate a conclusion or result, which does not fit the context. Choice D, 'Supposedly,' is not a suitable transitional word in this context as it does not connect the contrasting ideas presented in the sentences.
