TEAS Reading Practice Questions

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The passage argues for abolishing tipping in favor of paying servers a living wage. This is evident through the emphasis on fair compensation and the elimination of the need for tipping. Other choices are incorrect because the passage does not focus on the impact of tipping on service quality (B), individual performance-based pay for servers (C), or customer satisfaction from tipping (D). The main argument is centered around the idea of fair wages for servers, making choice A the correct answer.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Boredom from her film roles lacking spoken lines. Hedy Lamarr, a renowned actress, turned to inventing as a creative outlet due to the lack of intellectual stimulation in her film roles. This motivation led her to co-invent frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology during World War II. The other choices are incorrect because there is no evidence that Lamarr had formal engineering training (B), her previous inventions did not prompt her interest in inventing (C), and while she did work with Howard Hughes, it was not the primary reason for her interest in inventing (D).

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because it directly states that Hedy Lamarr did not let obstacles stop her from learning on her own. This shows her dedication and diligence towards achieving her goals. Choice A only mentions her film career but doesn't indicate her work ethic. Choice B focuses on her collaboration with Howard Hughes but doesn't speak to her work ethic. Choice C talks about her boredom in certain roles but doesn't reflect her earnest effort to achieve her goals like choice D does.

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 because it presents a verifiable piece of information - the running time of the movie is 98 minutes. This statement can be objectively confirmed or refuted. In contrast, choices B, C, and D contain subjective opinions or interpretations rather than factual statements. B describes the impact of stalking on a character subjectively, C describes a feeling generated by the shots, and D offers an opinion on the movie's quality. Therefore, A is the only choice that presents a factual detail rather than an interpretation or opinion.
