TEAS Reading Questions

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because section 900 typically houses historical maps and documents. Eratosthenes was an ancient Greek mathematician and geographer who created one of the earliest known world maps. Section 100 usually contains general reference materials, 300 is more likely to have modern maps, and 600 often focuses on technology or sciences unrelated to cartography. Therefore, section 900 is the most appropriate choice for finding a historical map created by Eratosthenes.

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.

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: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: metacarpals. The metacarpals are the bones located in the hand, specifically in the palm area. They connect the fingers to the wrist. The fibula is a bone in the lower leg, the metatarsals are bones in the foot, and the ulna is a bone in the forearm. Therefore, choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they are not located in the hand.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Laws were passed to prevent child labor. After Mother Jones's publication, public awareness of child labor issues increased, leading to pressure on lawmakers to address the problem. This resulted in the passing of laws to protect children from exploitation in the workplace. Choice A is incorrect as increased awareness would likely deter children from signing up for dangerous work. Choice B is unlikely as the closure of cotton factories would have broader economic implications. Choice D is also unlikely as the focus was on preventing child labor rather than increasing pay scales.
