Reading TEAS Practice Test

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: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because the statement reflects the author's tone being persuasive and calling the audience to action. This can be inferred from language that motivates or urges the reader to do something. Incorrect choices: B: Passionate and excitement do not necessarily imply persuasion or a call to action. C: While informative, interest in the subject does not indicate a persuasive tone. D: Somber and anger suggest a different emotional tone, not persuasive.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: chronological sequence. This is because the passage presents information in a clear time-based order, with events or ideas presented in the order in which they occur. The passage likely follows a timeline or a sequence of events to present information logically. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because the passage does not focus on cause-effect relationships, problem-solving strategies, or comparing and contrasting different ideas or concepts. By analyzing the structure of the passage and identifying the order in which information is presented, we can determine that the organization is best described as chronological sequence.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Moved to Canada. Alexander Graham Bell moved to Canada in 1870, which was before he invented the telephone in 1876. He helped found the National Geographic Society in 1888, after inventing the telephone. He also developed a metal detector later in his life. Therefore, moving to Canada occurred first in Bell's life timeline, making it the correct answer.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Young fish capable of feeding themselves. In the context of the passage, 'fry' refers to the stage in a fish's life cycle when they are newly hatched and have absorbed their yolk sac, becoming capable of feeding themselves. This definition aligns with the typical usage of 'fry' in the context of fish biology. The other choices are incorrect because A refers to fertilized eggs, C refers to a location for larvae, and D refers to fish being prepared for frying, which are not the intended meanings of 'fry' in this specific context.
