TEAS Reading Questions

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Raoul will expect to pay $9 for his computer use at the library because the question states that the library charges $1.50 per hour for computer use. If Raoul used the computer for 6 hours, the total cost would be 6 x $1.50 = $9. Choice B ($6) is incorrect because it assumes Raoul used the computer for 4 hours, which is not stated in the question. Choice C ($12) and D ($15) are incorrect as they do not match the calculation based on the given rate of $1.50 per hour for computer use.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the presence of an automobile with eighteen wheels contradicts the hypothesis that all automobiles have only four wheels. This example decreases the probability of the hypothesis being true. Choice A is incorrect because proving the hypothesis would require all automobiles to have only four wheels. Choice B is incorrect as the presence of an outlier like an eighteen-wheeled automobile doesn't increase the probability of the hypothesis being true for all automobiles. Choice C is incorrect because the existence of an eighteen-wheeled automobile disproves the hypothesis rather than proving it.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because the passage emphasizes that studying a foreign language should be a mandatory requirement for high school graduation. This is supported by the passage's main focus on the importance and benefits of learning a foreign language as a core part of education. The passage does not specifically mention finding jobs, gaining an understanding of other cultures, or getting into college as the main idea. Therefore, option B is the most aligned with the central argument presented in the passage.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the passage mentions Washington's warning against the dangers of political factions in his farewell address. This aligns with the idea that he would likely not approve of modern political parties. Choice A is incorrect because the passage does not directly link Washington's belief in liberty to his background as a wealthy landholder. Choice B is incorrect as there is no information in the passage to suggest how Washington would have felt about America's involvement in WWII. Choice C is incorrect as the passage does not mention Alexander Hamilton's involvement in writing Washington's farewell address.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The serving team can score a point in volleyball because only the serving team can win a point by successfully serving the ball over the net and making it land in the opponent's court or forcing an error. The receiving team cannot score a point directly from the serve. Choice A is incorrect because the receiving team does not have the opportunity to score a point while receiving the serve. Choice C is incorrect because only one team can earn a point at a time. Choice D is incorrect because at least one of the teams will score a point during a rally.
