TEAS Test English Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following demonstrates correct punctuation of a quotation?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Choice A is the correct answer as it demonstrates the correct punctuation of a quotation. In this sentence, the comma is correctly placed inside the quotation marks after 'party' and 'Blayne.' This follows the standard rule in punctuation where commas and periods should always be placed inside the closing quotation mark. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Choice B incorrectly places a period before the closing quotation mark after 'Jessica,' which is not necessary. Choice C misses a comma inside the quotation marks after 'party,' leading to incorrect punctuation. Choice D incorrectly capitalizes 'If' within the quotation, which is not part of the original sentence.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following sentences best serves as the topic sentence in a paragraph about the history of yoga?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it introduces the historical origin of yoga, which is the main focus of the paragraph. This sentence sets the context by providing a foundational understanding of where and when yoga originated. Choice A talks about the mention of yoga in the Vedas but does not provide information about the historical development of yoga itself. Choice B discusses the travel of yoga masters to the West, which is a later development in the history of yoga and not the starting point. Choice C refers to a shift in yoga philosophy without directly addressing its origins, making it less suitable as a topic sentence compared to choice D.

Question 4 of 5
Based on an examination of word parts, which of the following words means 'above the kidney'?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Suprarenal.' Breaking down the word parts, 'supra-' means above, and '-renal' pertains to the kidney. Therefore, 'Suprarenal' means above the kidney. Choice A, 'Interrenal,' is incorrect as 'inter-' means between or among. Choice B, 'Subrenal,' is incorrect as 'sub-' means below. Choice C, 'Intrarenal,' is incorrect as 'intra-' means within or inside.
Question 5 of 5
Based on the word parts, which of the following is a synonym for superlative?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The word 'superlative' implies the highest quality, which aligns with the meaning of 'excellent'. Therefore, 'excellent' is the correct synonym. Choice A, 'Relevant', does not convey the same meaning and is unrelated to superlative. Choice B, 'Surprising', suggests something unexpected rather than the highest quality. Choice D, 'Unimportant', is the opposite of what superlative represents, making it an incorrect choice.
