Reading TEAS Practice Test

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: chronological sequence. This is because the passage presents information in a clear time-based order, with events or ideas presented in the order in which they occur. The passage likely follows a timeline or a sequence of events to present information logically. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because the passage does not focus on cause-effect relationships, problem-solving strategies, or comparing and contrasting different ideas or concepts. By analyzing the structure of the passage and identifying the order in which information is presented, we can determine that the organization is best described as chronological sequence.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because statistical data supports the claim that people generally prefer clowns to magicians for children's birthday parties despite coulrophobia. This preference leads to Bobo booking more shows and making more money than Gob. Choice A is not enough to explain Bobo's success as it does not address the audience's preferences. Choice C, while relevant, does not directly address the audience's preference for clowns. Choice D is irrelevant as the location does not explain the difference in success between Bobo and Gob.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Started a school for the deaf. This event occurred fourth on the timeline because founding a school for the deaf required establishing a significant institution, which likely took more time and effort than the other events listed. This event also holds more historical significance in terms of impact and influence compared to the other choices. Option A, helping found the National Geographic Society, is likely an earlier event as it pertains to an organization's establishment. Option B, developing a metal detector, and Option C, moving to Canada, are less likely to be fourth on the timeline as they may not require as much time or effort as starting a school for the deaf.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, Chapter 12. To combat eczema using herbal remedies, she should look for information in a chapter specifically dedicated to natural treatments like herbal remedies. Chapter 12 is likely to focus on alternative and holistic approaches, making it the most relevant choice. Choice A (Chapter 8) may touch on general skin conditions but is less likely to provide detailed information on herbal remedies for eczema. Choice B (Chapter 10) and Choice C (Chapter 11) are also less likely to cover herbal remedies in depth compared to a chapter specifically dedicated to natural treatments like Chapter 12.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Her arrest for not giving up her seat. This event, which occurred on December 1, 1955, when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white person on a segregated bus, sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott and catapulted her into a central role in the Civil Rights Movement. This act of defiance and her subsequent arrest symbolized the resistance against racial segregation and inspired others to join in the fight for equality. The other choices are incorrect because while Parks did become a central figure in the Civil Rights Movement, it was specifically her arrest on that day that kickstarted her pivotal role. Her involvement in protests and advocacy for voting rights came later in her activism.
