Practice TEAS Test Reading

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Encyclopedia Britannica. This is the best starting point for Ernestine's research on the Globe Theatre in London because encyclopedias provide comprehensive and reliable information on a wide range of topics, including historical facts, background information, and key events related to the Globe Theatre. Encyclopedia Britannica specifically is known for its in-depth articles written by experts in their respective fields. Roget's Thesaurus (A) and Webster's Dictionary (B) are not relevant sources for historical research, as they focus on language and word meanings. The University of Oxford Style Guide (D) is a resource for academic writing and citation styles, not for historical information.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because the commercial for cold medicine narrated by a man in a doctor's coat claims professional authority without providing any evidence that the narrator is actually a doctor or has expertise in medicine. This lack of evidence undermines the credibility of the claim. In contrast, choice A provides evidence of a professional basketball player endorsing the pain relief product, choice C shows real children playing with the toy, and choice D includes testimonials from real consumers, all of which support the claims made in the commercials.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Reveler Cinema. As Thomas and his sister have to watch the film after 10 p.m., Reveler Cinema is the best option because it likely offers late-night showings. Twin Theatres, Big Screen 14, and Best Seat in The House may not have showtimes after 10 p.m. Therefore, Reveler Cinema is the most suitable choice for accommodating their schedule change.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the author implies the hero should be more nuanced and less unconditionally good in U.S.-made movies. This is evident from the context provided in the question. A is incorrect because the author does not suggest the hero should always appear morally worthy. B is incorrect because the author does not imply the hero should never appear morally worthy. D is incorrect because the author does not state the hero is an uninteresting character, but rather that the hero should be more nuanced.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because it expresses a subjective viewpoint or personal preference. The statement "Although some people may say that the act of reading is not complete without turning a page, sliding a finger across the screen, or pressing a button to read more onto the next page is just as satisfying to the reader" reflects an opinion about the act of reading. It is not a factual statement that can be proven true or false. In contrast, the other choices contain factual information or general statements that are not based on personal viewpoints. Choice A discusses the popularity of printed media, choice C talks about the impact of the Internet on book reliance, and choice D is a statement about the historical presence of stories. Therefore, only choice B presents an opinion, making it the correct answer.
