TEAS English Practice Test
1. What is the correct plural of century?
- A. Centurys
- B. Centures
- C. Centuries
- D. Centuryies
Correct answer: C
Rationale: The correct plural of 'century' is 'centuries'. In English, to form the plural of most nouns ending in -y, you change the -y to -ies. Choice A, 'Centurys', is incorrect because it does not follow this rule. Choice B, 'Centures', is also incorrect as it does not provide the correct plural form. Choice D, 'Centuryies', is a completely incorrect and non-standard plural form of 'century'. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Centuries'.
2. 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.
3. What is missing from the following sentence: 'He asked, When is the assignment due?'
- A. There should be quotation marks.
- B. There needs to be a semicolon after 'asked.'
- C. There should be a comma after 'assignment.'
- D. Nothing is missing.
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. The sentence is missing quotation marks around 'When is the assignment due?'. Quotation marks are essential to indicate that the words enclosed are being directly quoted. Choice B is incorrect because a semicolon is not needed in this context. Choice C is incorrect as a comma is already present after 'He asked' to separate the introductory clause. Choice D is incorrect because the sentence does lack proper punctuation, which are the quotation marks.
4. What is the correct plural form of the noun 'class'?
- A. Class
- B. Class'
- C. Class's
- D. Classes
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The correct plural form of the noun 'class' is 'classes.' When forming the plural of 'class,' you add 'es' to the singular form. Choices A, B, and C do not correctly represent the plural form of 'class' and are therefore incorrect. Choice A is the singular form, choice B is incorrect as it includes an apostrophe, and choice C shows possession which is not required for pluralization.
5. Which pronoun would not work in the following sentence? 'I asked a colleague to bring it to you.'
- A. my
- B. our
- C. your
- D. whose
Correct answer: D
Rationale: In the sentence 'I asked a colleague to bring it to you,' the pronoun 'whose' does not fit grammatically. The pronoun 'whose' is used to indicate possession or belonging to someone, which is not relevant in this context. The other pronouns 'my,' 'our,' and 'your' are all appropriate to use in this sentence based on the context of the sentence. Therefore, 'whose' is the correct answer as it does not work in the given sentence.
