TEAS Reading Practice Questions

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because the passage does not provide any information about the author's preference for musical comedies, concerts, movies, or theater seating comfort. The only logical conclusion supported by the passage is that the author loves attending theatrical productions, as this is explicitly mentioned in the text. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they are not supported by any evidence or information provided in the passage.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: When your dog bites something inappropriate. Redirecting biting behavior is crucial to teach appropriate behavior. Step 1: Identify the inappropriate biting behavior. Step 2: Redirect the dog's attention to a suitable chew toy or engage in positive reinforcement training. This helps the dog understand what is acceptable to bite. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not address the need to redirect inappropriate biting behavior. Barking at strangers, lying down, and eating are not necessarily problematic behaviors that require redirection in the context of biting.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because working on the frontlines of the Civil War logically follows after identifying anonymous soldiers. Barton first needed to identify the soldiers to understand their needs before working on the frontlines. Traveling to Europe and working as a federal patent clerk are unrelated to the timeline of events surrounding Barton's involvement in the Civil War. Therefore, D is the second event in the sequence.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: After. In a timeline, "After" indicates the sequence of events happening chronologically. It denotes that one event occurs subsequent to another. For example, if we say Barton graduated from college after getting a job, it implies a chronological order. Choice A: Front does not indicate sequencing in a timeline. It typically refers to the beginning or forefront of something. Choice B: First implies the initial event in a sequence, but it doesn't necessarily show the chronological order of all events. Choice D: Through denotes a period of time or completion, but it doesn't specify the order of events.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Witty. The tone of the passage can be identified as witty because it conveys a sense of humor or cleverness in a light-hearted manner. It uses playful language and subtle sarcasm to entertain or amuse the reader. The other choices, B: Incredulous, C: Aggressive, and D: Tense, are incorrect because the passage does not express disbelief, hostility, or anxiety. Instead, it aims to engage the reader with clever and amusing insights, making the tone witty.
