TEAS Reading Practice Questions

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Eleanor Roosevelt was a dedicated and compassionate individual. This conclusion is supported by her involvement in various humanitarian efforts during the war in the Pacific, such as visiting troops, boosting morale, and advocating for soldiers' welfare. Her activities focused on providing support and care to those affected by the war, showcasing her dedication and compassion. The other choices are incorrect as there is no evidence to suggest that she was a skilled military strategist, the commander of troops in the Pacific, or a professional athlete based on the details provided.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Step 1: The correct answer is A because it includes only the key points of the passage as mentioned in the question. Step 2: It lists Dr. Creekstone's 90th birthday party with specific details such as 3000 guests, zebras, monster trucks, bagpipe player, limited buffet, and fireworks display. Step 3: It does not include any additional information or opinions, sticking to the factual points provided in the passage. Step 4: Choices B and C are incorrect because they either focus on just one aspect of the passage (shocking buffet items) or introduce new information not mentioned in the passage (Dr. Creekstone's plans for next year). Step 5: Choice D is incorrect as it adds unnecessary repetition by restating the same details already mentioned in choice A.

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: 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.

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.
