TEAS Reading Practice Questions

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: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: They go to the theater as often as possible. This conclusion can be drawn from the passage because it states that the author attends the theater frequently and enjoys the experience. Choice A is incorrect as there is no indication of the author being overly emotional. Choice B is incorrect as there is no mention of the author preferring concerts over theater. Choice D is incorrect as the passage does not specifically mention the author's enjoyment of theater decor.

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: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Frequency-hopping system. Hedy Lamarr, an actress and inventor, co-created the frequency-hopping system during World War II to prevent enemy interception of radio-controlled torpedoes. This invention laid the foundation for modern spread-spectrum communication technologies like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Choice A (Improved traffic light) and B (Carbonated drink) are incorrect as they are not inventions associated with Hedy Lamarr. Choice C (Radio-controlled torpedoes) is partially correct but not as specific as the frequency-hopping system, which was the notable invention she co-created.

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.
