TEAS Reading Practice Questions Questions

Question 1 of 5

What prompted Hedy Lamarr to take up inventing?

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).

Question 2 of 5

Which of the following can the reader infer about the author's point of view when they state: 'the work Lamarr and Antheil did creating this frequency-hopping system led to many technologies that are often taken for granted today?'

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.

Question 3 of 5

Which of the following resources would help a reader gather information about economic trade during World War 1?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: News articles and textbooks. News articles provide up-to-date information and analysis of economic trade during WW1. Textbooks offer a comprehensive overview and historical context. Social media and photographs (choice B) are not reliable primary sources for historical research. Atlases and works of art (choice C) may provide geographical or cultural insights, but not specific economic trade data. Almanacs and music (choice D) are not relevant sources for studying economic trade during WW1.

Question 4 of 5

Why was Lamarr's invention not of interest to the US?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because the navy preferred to use the work of military engineers over Lamarr's invention. This is because military engineers were more trusted and had a proven track record in developing technologies for the military. Lamarr, being an actress and inventor, did not have the same credibility in the eyes of the military. The other choices are incorrect because Hollywood spies (A) and military preoccupation (C) do not directly explain the lack of interest in Lamarr's invention, and suspicion of her patent validity (D) is not mentioned in the context of the question.

Question 5 of 5

Which of the following words, as used in the timeline, indicates the chronology of events in Barton's life?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: After. In a timeline, "After" indicates the sequence of events happening chronologically. It denotes that one event occurs subsequent to another. For example, if we say Barton graduated from college after getting a job, it implies a chronological order. Choice A: Front does not indicate sequencing in a timeline. It typically refers to the beginning or forefront of something. Choice B: First implies the initial event in a sequence, but it doesn't necessarily show the chronological order of all events. Choice D: Through denotes a period of time or completion, but it doesn't specify the order of events.
