1. 1. Choose the word that correctly completes the sentence: "Neither of the nurses ___ available to cover the shift."

   • A. were
   • B. was
   • C. are
   • D. have been
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: B. was

   Neither is a singular pronoun, so it takes the singular verb was. The plural noun nurses sits inside a prepositional phrase and does not control the verb.

2. 2. Which word is spelled correctly?

   • A. recieve
   • B. receive
   • C. receeve
   • D. receve
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: B. receive

   The rule is i before e except after c. Because the vowel pair follows c, it is written ei: receive.

3. 3. Which sentence uses the apostrophe correctly?

   • A. The charts for all the patients' were updated.
   • B. The patients' charts were updated.
   • C. The patients charts' were updated.
   • D. The patient's charts were updated for all of them.
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: B. The patients' charts were updated.

   For a plural noun ending in s, the apostrophe goes after the s: the charts belonging to the patients are the patients' charts.

4. 4. Complete the sentence.

   The patient was told to lie down; yesterday she _____ down for an hour.

   Alternativer for luke 1: lay, laid, lain, lied

   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: lay

   Lie (to recline) conjugates lie, lay, lain. The past tense is lay. Laid is the past tense of lay, which means to put something down and needs an object.

5. 5. Which sentence uses the semicolon correctly?

   • A. The exam was long; but fair.
   • B. The exam was long; it covered every chapter.
   • C. The exam was long; covering every chapter.
   • D. The exam; was long and covered every chapter.
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: B. The exam was long; it covered every chapter.

   A semicolon joins two complete independent clauses. Only choice B has a full clause on each side of the semicolon.

6. 6. Which of the following are complete sentences?

   Velg alle som passer.

   • A. The lab results arrived this morning.
   • B. Because the results were delayed.
   • C. She reviewed the chart before rounds.
   • D. Running down the hallway with the paperwork.
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: A. The lab results arrived this morning., C. She reviewed the chart before rounds.

   A complete sentence needs a subject and a verb and must stand alone. Choice B is a dependent clause left hanging by because, and choice D has no main subject and verb.

7. 7. Read the sentence: "The doctor's terse reply left no room for follow-up questions." What does terse mean?

   • A. Cheerful
   • B. Brief and abrupt
   • C. Confusing
   • D. Very loud
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: B. Brief and abrupt

   Terse means using few words, often to the point of seeming abrupt. The clue is that the reply left no room for follow-up.

8. 8. Choose the word that correctly completes the sentence: "The charge nurse asked Maria and ___ to restock the supply room."

   • A. I
   • B. me
   • C. myself
   • D. she
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: B. me

   The pronoun is an object of asked, so it takes the object form me. Test it by dropping Maria: the nurse asked me, not the nurse asked I.

9. 9. Complete the sentence.

   _____ going to review _____ notes together before the final exam.

   Alternativer for luke 1: They're, Their, There

   Alternativer for luke 2: they're, their, there

   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: They're, their

   They're is the contraction of they are, which fits the first blank. Their shows possession, which fits the notes. There refers to a place and fits neither.

10. 10. Which word is closest in meaning to beneficial?

    • A. Harmful
    • B. Helpful
    • C. Optional
    • D. Temporary
    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: B. Helpful

    Beneficial means producing a good effect, so helpful is the synonym. Harmful is the antonym.

11. 11. In the word hyperglycemia, what does the prefix hyper- mean?

    • A. Below normal
    • B. Excessive or above normal
    • C. Related to sugar
    • D. Slow
    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: B. Excessive or above normal

    Hyper- means excessive or above normal, so hyperglycemia is high blood sugar. The opposite prefix is hypo-, as in hypoglycemia. Glyc- is the root that means sugar.

12. 12. Which of the following words are spelled correctly?

    Velg alle som passer.

    • A. occurrence
    • B. separate
    • C. neccessary
    • D. accommodate
    • E. embarass
    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: A. occurrence, B. separate, D. accommodate

    Occurrence has double c and double r, separate has an a in the middle, and accommodate has double c and double m. Necessary takes one c and two s's, and embarrass needs double r and double s.

13. 13. Which sentence is most appropriate for a formal email to a professor?

    • A. Hey, gonna miss class tomorrow, my bad.
    • B. I will be absent from tomorrow's class because of a medical appointment.
    • C. Can't make it tomorrow lol, catch me up?
    • D. Tomorrow is a no-go for me, sorry!!
    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: B. I will be absent from tomorrow's class because of a medical appointment.

    Formal writing avoids slang, contractions of casual speech and chat abbreviations. Choice B states the situation plainly and politely, which fits the audience.

14. 14. Complete the sentence.

    A clause that has a subject and a verb and can stand alone is an _____ clause; a clause that cannot stand alone is a _____ clause.

    Alternativer for luke 1: independent, introductory, adjective, appositive

    Alternativer for luke 2: parallel, dependent, compound, declarative

    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: independent, dependent

    Independent clauses are complete sentences on their own. Dependent clauses start with words like because, although or when, and must attach to an independent clause.

15. 15. Choose the word that correctly completes the sentence: "The medication had a positive ___ on the patient's recovery."

    • A. affect
    • B. effect
    • C. affects
    • D. effecting
    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: B. effect

    Effect is the noun, meaning a result. Affect is almost always a verb, meaning to influence. The sentence needs a noun after the article a.

Dette står på English-delen av TEAS 7

Delen English and Language Usage på ATI TEAS 7 er den korteste av de fire: 37 spørsmål på 37 minutter, nøyaktig ett minutt per spørsmål. 33 spørsmål teller på poengsummen og 4 er testspørsmål som ikke teller og som du ikke kan kjenne igjen, så behandle alle likt.

Spørsmålene som teller dekker tre innholdsområder. Normer for standardengelsk er verdt 12 spørsmål: staving, tegnsetting og setningsbygning. Språkkunnskap er verdt 11: grammatikk i kontekst, tydelighet og valg av språk som passer en formell eller uformell situasjon. Ordforråd er verdt 10: å finne ut hva ord betyr ut fra sammenhengen og ut fra orddeler som forstavelser, rot og endelser.

Siden tiden er knapp, belønner denne delen mønstergjenkjenning. De fleste spørsmålene tester et lite sett med regler som går igjen: samsvar mellom subjekt og verb på engelsk, kasus i pronomen, ord som ofte forveksles, apostrof og oppbygning av setningsledd.

Slik bruker du denne smakebiten

De 15 spørsmålene under treffer det samme settet med regler som den ekte delen bygger på. Ta dem i tempo, rundt ett minutt hver, og les så hver forklaring. Hver av dem navngir regelen som testes, så et feil svar sier deg nøyaktig hva du bør repetere.

Hold en personlig feilliste. Bommet du på spørsmålet om lie mot lay, føres det opp på lista sammen med regelen. Å gå gjennom en kort liste med dine egne gjentakende feil er langt mer effektivt enn å lese et helt grammatikkapittel om igjen. Når du er ferdig her, runder smakebitene i Science, Math og Reading som er lenket under av alle fire TEAS-delene.
