TEAS Reading Practice Test

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Company. In the third paragraph, the term 'enterprise' is referring to a business organization or company. This is supported by the context of the passage discussing the challenges faced by businesses and the need for strategic thinking. Choice B: Courage is incorrect because there is no mention of bravery or valor associated with the term 'enterprise' in the passage. Choice C: Game is incorrect as the passage does not discuss any recreational activities or competitions related to the term 'enterprise'. Choice D: Cause is incorrect as the passage does not refer to a reason or purpose for undertaking a specific action in relation to the term 'enterprise'.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because leading double lives in the play reveals the characters' hypocrisy and superficiality. This contributes to the overall message by highlighting the contrast between their public personas and private actions. It underscores the theme of deception and moral ambiguity in the characters' behavior. Choices A and C do not directly address the hypocrisy and superficiality portrayed by the characters. Choice D focuses more on the narrative structure rather than the thematic implications of leading double lives.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: One. By carefully examining the table, we can see that under the column for Heather Gray T-shirts in size small for January, there is only one entry. This indicates that only one Heather Gray T-shirt in size small was ordered in January. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Summary: - Choice B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the data shown in the table. - Choice B, C, and D suggest there were multiple orders of Heather Gray T-shirts in size small in January, which is not supported by the table.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Irony. In Wilde's play, irony is the most prominent literary device used to create humor, satire, and social commentary. Irony is evident in the characters' actions, dialogue, and situations, such as the reversal of expectations and the discrepancy between appearance and reality. Symbolism (B) is not as prevalent in this play as irony. Metaphor (C) is used but not as prominently as irony. Allusion (D) may be present, but it is not the most dominant literary device compared to irony in Wilde's play.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because the passage primarily focuses on insects transitioning from water to air during their life cycle.

Choice C is incorrect because while respiration is mentioned, it is not the central idea of the passage. Choice D is incorrect because there is no mention of encouraging readers to contribute to insect conservation efforts in the passage.
