Practice TEAS Test Reading

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. The librarian should direct the student to the biography section in the library as the assignment is to read a biography. By helping the student select a biography at his reading level, the librarian ensures the student meets the assignment requirements. This approach promotes literacy and encourages the student to engage with physical books, which can offer a more in-depth and reliable source of information compared to the internet. By choosing this option, the librarian supports the student's learning and helps develop research skills. Choice A is incorrect because using Google for an assignment that specifically requires reading a biography may not fulfill the assignment requirements adequately. Choice C is incorrect as it bypasses the opportunity for the student to engage with physical books and may not align with the assignment specifications. Choice D is incorrect because initiating an inter-library loan for a biography that will take two weeks to arrive may not be the most efficient solution considering the time constraints of the assignment.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: misleading. In the context of the fifth paragraph, "deceptive" implies causing someone to believe something that is not true. The word "deceptive" suggests a sense of trickery or falsehood, aligning with the idea of being misleading. The other choices (B: malicious, C: illegal, D: irritating) do not accurately capture the meaning of "deceptive" in the context provided. Malicious implies a more harmful intent, illegal refers to breaking laws, and irritating indicates annoyance, none of which directly relate to the meaning of deceptive in this context.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Reveler Cinema. As Thomas and his sister have to watch the film after 10 p.m., Reveler Cinema is the best option because it likely offers late-night showings. Twin Theatres, Big Screen 14, and Best Seat in The House may not have showtimes after 10 p.m. Therefore, Reveler Cinema is the most suitable choice for accommodating their schedule change.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Fairy tales. The author of Passage 1 specifically mentions in the passage that fairy tales are not something that travels from place to place through human movement. Fairy tales are cultural narratives that are often shared and adapted within a specific culture or community, rather than being spread through physical movement. Incorrect choices: B: Language - Language is a clear example of something that travels through human movement, as languages evolve and spread through interactions between different communities. C: Ideas - Ideas can also be transmitted through human movement as people share and exchange thoughts and concepts with others. D: Foods - Foods can be transported and shared across different regions through trade and migration, making them an example of something that travels through human movement.

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.
