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 guide words at the top of a dictionary page are considerable and conspicuous. Which of the following words is an entry on this page?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: conserve. The guide words "considerable" and "conspicuous" indicate that the word to be found on the page should fall alphabetically between these two words. "Conserve" comes after "considerable" and before "conspicuous." Therefore, "conserve" is the word that would be found on this dictionary page. A: consonantal - This word would appear alphabetically before "considerable," so it would not be on this page. B: consumption - This word would appear alphabetically after "conspicuous," so it would not be on this page. D: conquistador - This word would appear alphabetically after "conspicuous," so it would not be on this page.
Question 3 of 5
What text feature does the author use to organize the passage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: headings and subheadings. Headings and subheadings are text features that help organize the passage by providing a clear structure and guiding the reader through different sections. They act as signposts, indicating the main ideas and subtopics within the text. This helps the reader to navigate the content easily and understand the flow of information. Choice B (superscripts) is typically used for references or citations and not for organizing the passage. Choice C (diagrams) is a visual aid and not a text feature for organizing written content. Choice D (labels and footnotes) are used to provide additional information or clarify specific points within the text, but they do not serve the primary purpose of organizing the passage like headings and subheadings do.
Question 4 of 5
Based on the facts in the passage, what prediction could you make about the time immediately following the Louisiana Purchase?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because the Louisiana Purchase refers to the acquisition of the Louisiana territory by the United States from France in 1803. Since the purchase was already made, explorers were likely already on their way to the region to survey and map the newly acquired land. This prediction is supported by the historical context and the need for exploration and understanding of the territory. Choice B is incorrect because the passage does not provide any information about the government's aim to increase its power following the Louisiana Purchase. Choice C is incorrect because while it is possible that government officials may dispatch explorers to the region, there is no explicit information in the passage to support this prediction. Choice D is incorrect because there is no mention of explorers expecting compensation for their work in the passage. The focus is on exploration and mapping of the newly acquired territory.
Question 5 of 5
What is the new word?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: REVERT. The word "revert" means to return to a previous state or condition. This matches the theme of the question which asks for a "new word," implying a change or return to something different. A: REVEST is not a commonly used word and does not fit the context of the question. C: REVIEW is a common word but does not convey the idea of something new. D: REVERSE means to go in the opposite direction, which does not align with the concept of introducing something new.
