Reading TEAS Practice Test

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because spelunking specifically refers to exploring inside a cave. It involves navigating through caves, often with equipment like helmets and lights. Choice B is too broad and does not specify cave exploration. Choice C is irrelevant as it involves walking with a double stroller. Choice D is also unrelated as it describes a hot summer day, not cave exploration. Therefore, the correct choice is A as it aligns with the definition of spelunking.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because the passage clearly states that tobacco is described as deadly, expensive, and socially unappealing. This choice accurately captures the main points of the passage. A is incorrect because the passage does not compare tobacco to other alternatives, only highlighting its negative aspects. C is incorrect as it focuses solely on the taxation aspect of tobacco products, missing the broader negative impacts mentioned in the passage. D is incorrect as it exaggerates the impact on smokers' lives by stating a specific number of years and deaths, which is not explicitly mentioned in the passage.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, Chapter 12. To combat eczema using herbal remedies, she should look for information in a chapter specifically dedicated to natural treatments like herbal remedies. Chapter 12 is likely to focus on alternative and holistic approaches, making it the most relevant choice. Choice A (Chapter 8) may touch on general skin conditions but is less likely to provide detailed information on herbal remedies for eczema. Choice B (Chapter 10) and Choice C (Chapter 11) are also less likely to cover herbal remedies in depth compared to a chapter specifically dedicated to natural treatments like Chapter 12.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D (500). Jorgen should go to the 500 section of the library, which is where mathematics and natural sciences are typically categorized. The sieve of Eratosthenes is a mathematical algorithm used for finding all prime numbers up to a given integer. Therefore, the most relevant section for current applications of this algorithm would be in the mathematics and natural sciences section. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not correspond to a relevant section for mathematical topics like the sieve of Eratosthenes.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because the author's use of the word 'Juggernaut' in the context of scaring children implies that it is something intimidating or frightening. The word carries a connotation of power and unstoppable force, which aligns with the idea of something that would scare children. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the author's use of 'Juggernaut' in the passage. Choice A talks about an apparition appearing at daybreak, which is unrelated to the intimidating meaning of 'Juggernaut'. Choice C mentions space travel, which is also not connected to the context of scaring children. Choice D states that Mr. Utterson finds it soothing, which is contradictory to the negative connotation associated with 'Juggernaut'.
