TEAS English Practice Test
1. Select the context clue from the following sentence that helps you define the multiple meaning word formula: 'The mother gave her baby his formula after he woke up from his nap in the car.'
- A. mother
- B. baby
- C. nap
- D. car
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: baby.' In the sentence, 'baby' is the context clue that helps define the multiple meaning word 'formula.' Here, 'formula' refers to baby food, as babies typically consume formula. The word 'baby' directly relates to the context of feeding a baby with formula. Choice A, 'mother,' is not directly related to the meaning of 'formula' in this context. Choices C and D, 'nap' and 'car,' are also not directly connected to the meaning of 'formula' as they do not provide any relevant information about the word's meaning in this sentence.
2. Bi, re, and un are:
- A. Suffixes, appearing at the beginning of base words to change their meaning
- B. Suffixes, appearing at the end of base words to enhance their meaning
- C. Prefixes, appearing at the beginning of base words to emphasize their meaning
- D. Prefixes, appearing at the beginning of base words to change their meaning
Correct answer: D
Rationale: Bi, re, and un are prefixes, not suffixes. Prefixes are added at the beginning of base words to change their meanings. Therefore, choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they refer to suffixes or emphasize, which is not the case for these prefixes.
3. Identify the article in the following sentence: The delicious cake was enjoyed by everyone at the party.
- A. cake
- B. was
- C. the
- D. enjoyed
Correct answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C - the.' Articles ('a,' 'an,' and 'the') indicate specificity of a noun. In this sentence, 'the' specifies that there is one particular cake being discussed. Choice A ('cake') is incorrect as it is the noun being modified by the article. Choice B ('was') is a verb and not an article. Choice D ('enjoyed') is also a verb and not an article.
4. What type of sentence is the sentence above?
- A. Simple
- B. Complex
- C. Compound
- D. Compound-complex
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The sentence above is a complex sentence because it contains an independent clause 'You are a helpful assistant' and a dependent clause 'What type of sentence is the sentence above?'. A complex sentence is formed by joining an independent clause with one or more dependent clauses. In this case, the dependent clause 'What type of sentence is the sentence above?' cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because the sentence does not contain multiple independent clauses (compound) or a combination of independent and dependent clauses (compound-complex).
5. Which of the following words in the sentence is an adverb? We should go outside.
- A. We
- B. should
- C. go
- D. outside
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The word 'outside' is the adverb in the sentence. An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. In this sentence, 'outside' modifies the verb 'go' by indicating the location where the action is taking place. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'We' is a pronoun, 'should' is a modal verb, and 'go' is the main verb in the sentence, none of which function as adverbs.
