TEAS 7 English Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following facts would be the most relevant to include here?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Option B provides relevant context by specifying that the BPP was another activist group. This clarification helps to establish a parallel between the BPP and the NAACP in terms of their function and purpose. Choice C is incorrect as the number of members is not the key point being compared in the sentence. Choice D is incorrect as it introduces an unrelated comparison involving schools, which is not relevant to the context provided in the sentence.
Question 2 of 5
Hampton's greatest achievement as the leader of the BPP may be his fight against street gang violence in Chicago. Which of these, if any, is misspelled?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: All the words in the sentence are spelled correctly, including 'achievement.' There is no misspelling present. 'Greatest,' 'achievement,' and 'leader' are all spelled correctly. Option A is correct as there is no misspelled word in the sentence. Choices B, C, and D are wrong because they are correctly spelled words in the context of the sentence.
Question 3 of 5
What does the prefix circum- mean in the word circumference?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The prefix 'circum-' means 'around,' which is the definition most related to 'circumference.' Circumference refers to the boundary that surrounds a circular shape. Choice A, 'Beyond,' is incorrect as it implies going further or exceeding a boundary. Choice B, 'After,' is not related to the concept of surrounding or encircling. Choice D, 'Before,' is also unrelated and denotes something occurring prior to a specific time or event.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following sentences demonstrates the correct use of an apostrophe?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct sentence is option C: "Lyle works for the courthouse, and among his responsibilities is getting the jurors' meals." This sentence demonstrates the correct use of an apostrophe to show possession by correctly indicating that the meals belong to the jurors collectively. Option A is incorrect because "meal's" is possessive, but it should be plural to refer to meals belonging to multiple jurors. Option B is incorrect because it uses "juror's," which is singular possessive, not plural possessive as needed to show that the meals belong to multiple jurors. Option D is incorrect because it uses "jurors meals'," which incorrectly combines the plural possessive form "jurors'" with the plural noun "meals" without the necessary apostrophe to show possession. Understanding the correct use of apostrophes is crucial for clear and effective communication in writing. It helps to indicate possession and clarify relationships between words in a sentence. Mastering this skill is essential for students to convey their ideas accurately and professionally in various contexts, making it a fundamental aspect of English language proficiency.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following would belong in a formal speech?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Option B is the correct answer as it uses formal language, appropriate structure, and organized transitions like 'Ideally,' 'Secondly,' and 'Then,' which are essential for a formal speech. The tone is professional and clear, with well-constructed sentences that effectively convey the necessary information. Options A, C, and D either use informal language, lack the organized flow needed in a formal setting, or have less professional tone. Therefore, Option B stands out as the best fit for a formal speech.
