Practice English TEAS TEST Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is a synonym for 'reiterate'?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
Which sentence correctly uses quotation marks in connection with an indirect quote?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Choice D correctly uses quotation marks to indicate the specific phrase 'the storm of a century.' In this sentence, the indirect quote is highlighted within the quotation marks. Choices A, B, and C do not correctly use quotation marks with an indirect quote. Choice A incorrectly places a comma inside the quotation marks, which should be outside. Choice B does not have any quotation marks around the indirect quote. Choice C uses double quotation marks unnecessarily around the indirect quote.
Question 3 of 5
In the sentence 'The flustered man watched the train as it pulled out of the station,' which of the following is the simple subject?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The simple subject is the noun or pronoun that the sentence is about. In this sentence, the subject is 'man' because it is the entity performing the action of watching. 'The flustered man' is a noun phrase but not the simple subject as it includes an article and an adjective. 'Watched' is a verb and 'train' is the object of the action, not the subject. Therefore, 'man' is the correct simple subject in this sentence.
Question 4 of 5
In the sentence, 'The receptionist explained that we would be the next to see the doctor,' which of the following is the complete predicate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The complete predicate is 'explained that we would be the next to see the doctor.' In a sentence, the complete predicate includes the main verb (explained) and all the words that complete its meaning (that we would be the next to see the doctor). Choices B, C, and D do not constitute the complete predicate as they do not include the main verb 'explained' and all associated words that complete its meaning.
Question 5 of 5
She is a fierce competitor, and nothing is going to keep her from running that marathon despite a hamstring injury. Which of the following describes the grammar problem in the sentence above?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C, tense disagreement. The sentence contains a tense disagreement between 'was' and 'is.' 'She is a fierce competitor' and 'nothing is going to keep her' are in the present tense, while 'was going to keep her' should also be in the present tense to maintain consistency. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the issue in the sentence is related to verb tense, not diction, word choice, or transition words.
