TEAS Reading Questions

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because Raul is seeking information about who built the Great Pyramids. "Who Built the Great Pyramids?" directly addresses his query, making it the best choice. Choice A discusses Giza, not specifically the builders. Choice B focuses on Zahi Hawass, not the pyramid builders. Choice C talks about hieroglyphics, which is unrelated to Raul's question.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Shiloh. In the Battle of Shiloh, there were more Confederate casualties than Union casualties. This is because the Union forces, under General Ulysses S. Grant, inflicted heavy losses on the Confederate troops, led by General Albert Sidney Johnston. The battle resulted in approximately 13,000 Union casualties compared to around 10,700 Confederate casualties. The other choices, A: Cold Harbor, B: Chancellorsville, and C: Atlanta, all had more Union casualties than Confederate casualties. Thus, Shiloh is the correct answer based on historical casualty counts.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the statement aligns with the author's likely perspective on smoking cessation - that any reason prompting smokers to quit is valid and should be encouraged. The author would prioritize the end goal of quitting over the specific method or motivation. Option A is incorrect because it limits the approach to quitting to only one method, which may not be effective or feasible for all smokers. Option B is incorrect as it introduces a comparison of addiction levels, which is not directly related to the author's likely agreement. Option D is incorrect as it veers off-topic by suggesting advocacy for reduced taxes, which is not directly related to the author's perspective on smoking cessation motivations.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because it introduces a completely different topic (Charles Dickens and his novels about lower-class children) that is not related to the main focus of the passage, which is about Malory and Tennyson's works on King Arthur. Step 1: Identify the main focus of the passage (Malory and Tennyson's works on King Arthur). Step 2: Analyze each choice for relevance to the main focus. Step 3: Option D introduces a new topic (Charles Dickens and his novels about lower-class children) that is not related to the main focus. Step 4: Therefore, option D distracts the reader from the main focus and is the correct answer. In summary, option D is incorrect because it introduces an unrelated topic, while options A, B, and C are all related to the main focus of the passage.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The serving team can score a point in volleyball because only the serving team can win a point by successfully serving the ball over the net and making it land in the opponent's court or forcing an error. The receiving team cannot score a point directly from the serve. Choice A is incorrect because the receiving team does not have the opportunity to score a point while receiving the serve. Choice C is incorrect because only one team can earn a point at a time. Choice D is incorrect because at least one of the teams will score a point during a rally.
