TEAS Reading Practice Test

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the term 'working man' in the extract refers to someone who earns wages in a traditional sense, often associated with the middle class. This is supported by the context of discussing economic classes and the labor force. Choice A is incorrect because the extract does not mention anything about being well versed in the workings of the soul. Choice B is incorrect as there is no mention of the working man's involvement in social activities in the extract. Choice D is incorrect as it discusses the historical transitions of the working man, which is not directly related to the definition of the term in the given context.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. By locating texts in the library related to World War II in America and looking for references to internment camps in the index, the student can find reliable and in-depth resources specifically focused on Japanese-American internment camps during World War II. This method ensures that the information gathered is relevant and accurate, as it is derived from scholarly sources. Choice A is not the best advice as conducting a broad internet search may yield a mix of credible and unreliable sources, making it difficult for the student to discern accurate information. Choice B suggests consulting an American history textbook, which may provide general information but may not delve deeply into the specific topic of Japanese-American internment camps. Choice C, finding websites about Japanese-American culture encompassing various aspects such as fashion and politics, is not the most helpful advice as the student's research focus is on internment camps during World War II, which may not be adequately covered in such websites.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because even without Franz Ferdinand's assassination, the tensions and alliances among world powers at that time made a war highly probable. This choice logically completes the passage by acknowledging the underlying causes of World War I. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they oversimplify the complex factors that led to the war, such as militarism, imperialism, and nationalism. Choice B disregards the geopolitical climate, while choices C and D incorrectly assign blame to specific countries without considering the broader context of alliances and rivalries.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. The sentence indicates that the preparatory instars of the insects are aquatic, meaning the stage between molting occurs in water. The adult instar being aerial implies that the final stage happens in the air. This aligns with choice C, which accurately captures the sequential transition of the insects from water to air. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the information provided in the sentence.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The purpose of the repetition in the passage is to emphasize Mr. Utterson's anguish in failing to identify Hyde's whereabouts. The phrase "toiling mind" and "toiling in mere darkness" convey a sense of struggle and mental torment. By repeating the word "toiling," the author intensifies the feeling of inner turmoil and frustration Mr. Utterson is experiencing. This repetition underscores the difficulty and complexity of his task, highlighting his emotional state of anguish and confusion. A: Incorrect. The repetition does not specifically demonstrate Mr. Lanyon's mental state. B: Incorrect. The repetition does not highlight church bells, but rather Mr. Utterson's mental state. C: Incorrect. The repetition does not reflect Mr. Utterson's ambivalence, but rather his anguish.
