TEAS English Practice Test #2

Question 1

The well-stocked larder was replete with dozens of canned goods intended to last through the winter. Which of the following is the meaning of the underlined word above?

Accepted Answer

full

Answer

The word 'replete' means completely filled or well-supplied with something. In the context of a 'well-stocked larder' filled 'with dozens of canned goods,' 'full' is the most accurate synonym. It indicates that the larder was abundantly supplied.

Question 2

Which of the following is an example of a simple sentence?

Accepted Answer

The movie about the comic book superhero had never interested me until last week.

Answer

A simple sentence contains one independent clause, meaning it has one subject and one predicate and expresses a complete thought. Option C has 'The movie' as its subject and 'had never interested me until last week' as its predicate, forming a single independent clause. Other options contain fragments, dependent clauses, or multiple independent clauses.

Question 3

To ______ should I address the postcard? Which of the following correctly completes the sentence above?

Accepted Answer

whom

Answer

This question tests the correct use of 'who' vs. 'whom.' 'Whom' is the objective case pronoun, used when it is the object of a verb or a preposition. In this sentence, 'whom' is the object of the preposition 'to,' making 'To whom' the grammatically correct choice.

Question 4

Which of the following phrases follows the rules of capitalization?

Accepted Answer

my sister Cheryl

Answer

Common nouns like 'sister' are not capitalized unless they are used as part of a proper noun (e.g., 'Aunt Sally') or at the beginning of a sentence. 'Cheryl' is a proper noun and is correctly capitalized. In 'my sister Cheryl,' only 'Cheryl' should be capitalized.

Question 5

The actors’ performances powerfully _____ the audience. Which of the following options correctly completes the sentence above?

Accepted Answer

affected

Answer

This question tests the difference between 'affect' and 'effect.' 'Affect' is typically a verb meaning to influence or have an impact on something. In this sentence, the performances influenced the audience, so the verb 'affected' is the correct choice.
