Practice TEAS Test Reading Questions
Question 1 of 5
Using the guide words degressive and delectation at the top of a dictionary page, which of the following words is most likely to appear on the following page of the dictionary?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: deity. The guide words degressive and delectation suggest that words beginning with "de" and related to pleasure or enjoyment are likely to appear on the following page. Deity fits this criteria as it relates to a divine being worshipped for its perfection and power. Deleterious (A) means harmful, dehydrate (B) means to remove water, and delay (C) means to postpone; these words do not align with the theme of pleasure or enjoyment implied by the guide words. Therefore, D is the most likely word to appear on the following page.
Question 2 of 5
The passage describes recent hurricane seasons as the most expensive on record. Which of the following statements gives the implied reason for this increased expense?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because the destruction of barrier islands and coastal wetlands has left the mainland exposed, making it more vulnerable to hurricane damage. This increased vulnerability leads to higher expenses in terms of property damage, infrastructure repairs, and disaster relief efforts. Choice A is incorrect as the violence of Hurricane Katrina alone does not explain the overall increase in expenses for recent hurricane seasons. Choice B is also incorrect as the destruction of valuable buildings in New Orleans is a consequence of the increased vulnerability due to the destruction of barrier islands and wetlands, rather than the reason for the increased expenses. Choice C is incorrect as the statement about the Atlantic Basin entering an active period does not directly explain the increased expenses related to recent hurricane seasons.
Question 3 of 5
Based on the information in the announcement, what might the reader assume about how the university determined the lunch schedule?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the announcement states that the schedule was designed to accommodate the "varying arrival times of faculty members from different departments." This implies that the university considered the timings of faculty members from each department individually, not just based on the department with the most faculty members (A), majority entry times (B), or different times for each department to reduce crowding (D). Choice C aligns best with the information provided in the announcement, making it the most reasonable assumption.
Question 4 of 5
A 'competitive salary' is one that is
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because a competitive salary is one that is similar to the average salary offered for comparable jobs. This ensures that the salary is competitive enough to attract and retain talent without overpaying. Choice A is incorrect because a salary much less than others would not be competitive. Choice B is incorrect because a salary much greater than others would not be considered competitive. Choice D is incorrect because all salaries can be compared, and a competitive salary should be comparable to others in the market.
Question 5 of 5
What is the primary purpose of the passage?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because the passage emphasizes the importance of viewers thinking critically about underlying assumptions in movies. It discusses how movies can shape our perceptions and beliefs, urging readers to analyze and question these influences. Choice A is incorrect because the passage does not primarily analyze a feature of American cinema, but rather encourages critical thinking. Choice B is incorrect as the passage does not aim to refute the Western paradigm. Choice C is also incorrect because the passage does not suggest a specific way to improve war movies but rather focuses on encouraging critical analysis of all movies.
