Practice English TEAS TEST
1. Which of the following options contains a possessive pronoun?
- A. If the patient chooses to leave, let them know the right to do so is theirs.
- B. When we support patients in these ways, the hospital's mission is accomplished.
- C. Take personal items to the front desk once you are finished.
- D. This hospital has some problems, no doubt.
Correct answer: A
Rationale: Choice A, 'theirs,' is a possessive pronoun indicating ownership. In this sentence, 'theirs' shows possession by referring to something belonging to the patient. Choices B, C, and D do not contain possessive pronouns. Choice B uses the possessive form 'hospital's,' but it is a possessive noun, not a pronoun. Choice C uses 'personal items,' where 'personal' is an adjective and 'items' is a noun. Choice D does not include any possessive pronouns or possessive nouns.
2. Which of the following words is written correctly in its plural form?
- A. Chieves
- B. Prooves
- C. Razores
- D. Halves
Correct answer: D
Rationale: 'Halves' is the correct plural form of 'half.' In this case, 'halves' is the plural form of 'half,' referring to two equal parts of a whole. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as 'chieves,' 'prooves,' and 'razores' are not valid plural forms of the respective singular nouns.
3. The glittering lights in the garden were meant to entrance the guests as they arrived. What is the meaning of the homograph 'entrance' as used in the sentence above?
- A. enter
- B. passage
- C. opportunity
- D. enchant
Correct answer: D
Rationale: In this context, 'entrance' is used as a verb meaning to enchant or captivate. The glittering lights were intended to captivate or charm the guests as they arrived, not to physically enter them (choice A), provide a passage (choice B), or present an opportunity (choice C). Therefore, the correct answer is 'enchant.'
4. Which sentence correctly uses quotation marks?
- A. "Did you finish your homework?" she asked.
- B. Did you finish your homework? she asked.
- C. "Did you finish your homework? she asked."
- D. Did you finish your homework? "she asked."
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct use of quotation marks involves enclosing the exact words of a speaker, with punctuation placed inside the quotes. Choice A is the correct answer as it correctly uses quotation marks to enclose the spoken words 'Did you finish your homework?' with the appropriate punctuation inside the quotes. Choices B, C, and D incorrectly position the quotation marks or omit necessary punctuation, making them grammatically incorrect. In choice B, the closing quotation mark is missing. In choice C, the punctuation is placed outside the closing quotation mark, and in choice D, the quotation mark is incorrectly placed after 'homework,' disrupting the flow of the quoted speech.
5. Which of the following sentences follows the rules of punctuation and capitalization?
- A. That was amazing," She said. "I can't believe we almost missed it."
- B. "That was amazing," she said; "I can't believe we almost missed it."
- C. "That was amazing." She said. "I can't believe we almost missed it."
- D. "That was amazing," she said. "I can't believe we almost missed it."
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The sentence follows the rules of punctuation and capitalization for dialogue.
