Experience the Quality With Free TACHS Exam Questions That Helps Candidates Pass

TACHS Written Expression focuses on agreement, pronoun usage, modifiers, and parallel structure. In option B, the collective noun “committee” is treated as a single unit; as a singular subject, it requires a singular verb (“has,” not “have”) and a singular possessive pronoun (“its” is already singular). Therefore, “The committee has finished its report” is correct. Option A is correct because “each,” an indefinite pronoun, is singular, so “was” correctly agrees, and “his or her” matches the singular antecedent. Option C is correct because the introductory participial phrase “Running down the hill” logically modifies “the children,” the grammatical subject that follows, avoiding a dangling modifier. Option D is correct because with “neither…nor,” verb agreement follows the nearer subject (“wallet”), which is singular; thus “is” is correct. Recognizing subject-verb agreement rules—especially with collective nouns and correlative conjunctions—is a frequent TACHS skill. Students should test agreement by plugging the subject directly before the verb and by checking whether the subject is singular or plural in meaning. Only sentence B violates these principles, so it contains the error.

A book is used to read; a knife is used to cut. Option C is the correct functional analogy. A, B, and D are loosely related but not precise. TACHS Ability questions focus on object–function parallels.

A pencil is used to write; scissors are used to cut. Option A is correct. B, C, and D are related words but do not show the same tool–function relationship. TACHS Ability questions often test recognition of functional analogies.
