TEAS English Practice Test
1. Which word(s) in the following sentence should be capitalized? 'She asked, Do you like Indian food?'
- A. She and do
- B. Do and Indian
- C. She and Indian
- D. She, do, and Indian
Correct answer: D
Rationale: In the given sentence, the words that should be capitalized are 'She,' 'do,' and 'Indian.' 'She' needs to be capitalized as it is the pronoun referring to a person, 'do' should be capitalized as it is the beginning of a question, and 'Indian' should be capitalized as it refers to a specific nationality or culture. Choice A is incorrect as 'do' is missing. Choice B is incorrect as 'Indian' is not capitalized. Choice C is incorrect as 'Indian' is not capitalized. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
2. What verb tense is used in the underlined words in the following sentence? 'The doctor prescribed medicine after my son had been sick for four days.'
- A. Past perfect
- B. Present perfect
- C. Past progressive
- D. Present progressive
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Past perfect.' In the sentence, 'had been sick' is in the past perfect tense. The past perfect tense is formed with 'had' + the past participle of the main verb. In this sentence, it indicates an action that was completed before another past action. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because the sentence does not contain the present perfect, past progressive, or present progressive tenses as indicated by the underlined words. The present perfect tense would require 'has' or 'have' + past participle, the past progressive would involve 'was' or 'were' + present participle, and the present progressive would include 'am', 'is', or 'are' + present participle, none of which are present in the sentence.
3. How should the following clauses be connected: 'He ate a lot on vacation. He did not gain any weight.'
- A. He ate a lot on vacation if he did not gain any weight.
- B. He ate a lot on vacation, but he did not gain any weight.
- C. He ate a lot on vacation since he did not gain any weight.
- D. He ate a lot on vacation because he did not gain any weight.
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'He ate a lot on vacation, but he did not gain any weight.' The conjunction 'but' is used to show a contrast between the two clauses. Choices A, C, and D do not effectively demonstrate the contrast between eating a lot and not gaining weight, making them incorrect. Choice A introduces a conditional relationship that is not present in the original sentences. Choice C implies a causal relationship that is not intended. Choice D also suggests a causal link that is not appropriate given the context.
4. Select the subject with which the underlined verb must agree: 'Everyone I know has the day off, but my boss wants me to work.'
- A. Everyone
- B. I
- C. day
- D. boss
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Everyone.' In the sentence, the verb 'has' must agree with the singular subject 'Everyone.' 'I,' 'day,' and 'boss' are not the subjects that the verb 'has' must agree with. 'I' is the object pronoun, 'day' is the object of the preposition 'off,' and 'boss' is part of the second clause and not the subject that governs the verb agreement in the first clause.
5. Select the correct definition of the underlined word having multiple meanings in the sentence: 'Natalie’s fingers were calloused after practicing her bass.'
- A. Kind of fish
- B. Low and deep sound
- C. Lowest male singing voice
- D. A guitar with four strings that makes low sounds
Correct answer: D
Rationale: In this sentence, 'bass' refers to a guitar with four strings that makes low sounds. The context of Natalie practicing suggests that it is referring to a musical instrument, specifically the bass guitar, rather than a fish, sound, or voice. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A, 'Kind of fish,' is incorrect as the sentence context does not relate to fish. Choice B, 'Low and deep sound,' is incorrect because the sentence refers to practicing an instrument, not just a sound. Choice C, 'Lowest male singing voice,' is also incorrect as the sentence context is not related to singing but to playing an instrument.
