TEAS English Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following answer choices is spelled correctly?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct spelling is 'intrude,' which means to enter a place or situation where one is unwelcome or not invited. The other answer choices, 'aclimate,' 'wisen,' and 'alude,' are misspelled. 'Aclimate' should be spelled as 'acclimate,' meaning to become accustomed to a new climate or environment. 'Wisen' is likely intended to be 'wisen' but is not a recognized word. 'Alude' should be spelled as 'allude,' meaning to suggest or call attention to indirectly.
Question 2 of 5
"I would like to go with you; however, I won't have time." In this sentence, what part of speech is the word "however"?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The word "however" in the given sentence functions as a conjunctive adverb. Conjunctive adverbs are used to connect clauses or sentences and show relationships between them. In this case, "however" introduces a contrast between the speaker's desire to go and the lack of time, indicating a shift in the information provided.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following structures is present in the sentence: "The tall man wearing a black raincoat, a yellow hat, and one red shoe entered the restaurant, walked to the back, and sat down alone at the smallest table farthest away from the staff and other patrons."?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The sentence is considered a complex sentence because it consists of an independent clause ('The tall man entered the restaurant, walked to the back, and sat down alone at the smallest table farthest away from the staff and other patrons') and a dependent clause beginning with 'wearing a black raincoat, a yellow hat, and one red shoe.' The dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. Choice A is incorrect because a simple sentence contains only one independent clause. Choice C is incorrect as a compound sentence consists of two or more independent clauses. Choice D is incorrect as a compound-complex sentence contains two or more independent clauses and at least one dependent clause.
Question 4 of 5
What kinds of clauses does the following sentence contain? "Although Ted had an impressive education, he had little experience working with individuals, which made him less effective at relating to them."
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The sentence consists of one dependent clause, 'Although Ted had an impressive education,' which introduces a condition. It also contains two independent clauses: 'he had little experience working with individuals,' which presents a fact, and 'which made him less effective at relating to them,' which provides additional information. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A is incorrect because it incorrectly identifies the number of independent and dependent clauses. Choice C is incorrect as it wrongly states that there are no dependent clauses in the sentence. Choice D is incorrect as it does not accurately represent the structure of the sentence.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following sentences is written correctly?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: This sentence correctly uses commas to set off the nonrestrictive phrase 'my pet bird' in between the name 'Maya' and the rest of the sentence. Nonrestrictive phrases provide additional information but are not essential to the sentence's meaning. Choice B has a missing comma after 'Peter' to separate the list of names correctly. Choice C should use commas, not dashes, to separate the items in the list. Choice D lacks a comma after 'project' to separate the clauses in a compound sentence.
