TEAS Reading Practice Questions

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because the extract indicates that Hedy Lamarr was not satisfied with her roles as a silent actress and desired more speaking roles. This conclusion can be drawn from her statement about feeling invisible as a silent actress. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because there is no information in the extract to support those conclusions. Lamarr's nationality is not mentioned, so choice A is incorrect. Choice C is not supported by the extract as it does not mention her satisfaction with her contribution. Choice D is also incorrect as the extract does not specifically mention working in American films with various directors.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: The author believes that we have underestimated the value of the contributions of lesser-known inventors. This is supported by the statement that the technologies resulting from Lamarr and Antheil's work are often taken for granted today, indicating that their contributions are not fully recognized. Choice B is incorrect because there is no indication in the statement that the frequency-hopping system has damaged modern electronics. Choice C is incorrect because while the work of Lamarr and Antheil may have been important, there is no direct mention of their contribution to victory in World War II. Choice D is incorrect as it focuses on the amount of time spent using technologies rather than the value of the inventors' contributions.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: When your dog bites something inappropriate. Redirecting biting behavior is crucial to teach appropriate behavior. Step 1: Identify the inappropriate biting behavior. Step 2: Redirect the dog's attention to a suitable chew toy or engage in positive reinforcement training. This helps the dog understand what is acceptable to bite. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not address the need to redirect inappropriate biting behavior. Barking at strangers, lying down, and eating are not necessarily problematic behaviors that require redirection in the context of biting.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Smith and Jones. This firm is the best choice because they have the necessary experience to handle the claim efficiently, leading to the lowest overall cost. They likely specialize in the specific area of law relevant to the claim, ensuring expertise and effectiveness. Martin and Sons, Williams Attorneys, and Thorn and Thomas do not guarantee the same level of experience or cost-effectiveness in handling the claim.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because a record of weather patterns over the past decade would provide empirical data on Punxsutawney Phil's predictions. By analyzing the weather data alongside Phil's predictions, one can assess the accuracy and reliability of the groundhog's forecasts over time. Choice A is incorrect because a memoir from a former president of the Groundhog Club may offer personal anecdotes but lacks objective data to evaluate Phil's predictions. Choice C is irrelevant as it focuses on groundhog behavior rather than prediction accuracy. Choice D is also incorrect as a historical account of traditions does not provide direct evidence of Phil's predictive reliability.
