TEAS Reading Practice Test

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Primary or chief. In the context provided, 'principal' refers to the primary or chief aspect of something. This can be deduced by understanding that 'principal' often denotes the main or most important element. The other choices are incorrect because: B: An acolyte is a follower or assistant, not the main or chief entity. C: An individual who provides nurturing does not align with the common definition of 'principal' as primary or chief. D: One in a subordinate position is the opposite of being the primary or chief role, making it an incorrect choice.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: A definitive decision. In the passage, the word 'mind' refers to the emperor's intention or purpose to entertain the speaker with country shows. This indicates a clear and specific decision made by the emperor. Choice A (The ability to think) is incorrect because 'mind' in the context of the passage does not refer to the general cognitive ability but rather a specific intention. Choice B (A collective vote) is incorrect as there is no indication of a group decision-making process in the passage. Choice D (A mythological question) is also incorrect as there is no mention of any mythological context in the passage.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the final comment indicates that the speaker plans to continue looking for Mr. Hyde. The phrase "I should be Mr. Seek" implies a determination to search for Hyde. The speaker is not considering changing names (A), experiencing a sudden determination (B), or realizing a mistake in identifying the person (C).

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Third person omniscient. This is because in third person omniscient point of view, the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of all characters in the story. The author can provide insights into multiple characters' perspectives and emotions, enhancing the reader's understanding of the story. This choice allows for a more comprehensive and detailed narrative, providing a broader view of the events and characters. Incorrect choices: A: First person - This point of view uses "I" and limits the narrative to the perspective of one character. B: Third person limited - This point of view focuses on one character's thoughts and feelings, restricting the reader's access to other characters' perspectives. D: Objective - This point of view presents the story without revealing any characters' thoughts or feelings, maintaining a detached and impartial narrative.
