TEAS Reading Practice Questions

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because it directly states that Hedy Lamarr did not let obstacles stop her from learning on her own. This shows her dedication and diligence towards achieving her goals. Choice A only mentions her film career but doesn't indicate her work ethic. Choice B focuses on her collaboration with Howard Hughes but doesn't speak to her work ethic. Choice C talks about her boredom in certain roles but doesn't reflect her earnest effort to achieve her goals like choice D does.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because working on the frontlines of the Civil War logically follows after identifying anonymous soldiers. Barton first needed to identify the soldiers to understand their needs before working on the frontlines. Traveling to Europe and working as a federal patent clerk are unrelated to the timeline of events surrounding Barton's involvement in the Civil War. Therefore, D is the second event in the sequence.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Cicadas and public interest in cicadas are cyclical. This can be inferred from the passage because it mentions the periodic emergence of cicadas every 17 years, indicating a cyclical nature. The other choices can be ruled out: B is too broad and not supported by the passage, C is not mentioned or implied, and D is clearly incorrect as the passage discusses cicadas and public interest in cicadas.

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: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Witty. The tone of the passage can be identified as witty because it conveys a sense of humor or cleverness in a light-hearted manner. It uses playful language and subtle sarcasm to entertain or amuse the reader. The other choices, B: Incredulous, C: Aggressive, and D: Tense, are incorrect because the passage does not express disbelief, hostility, or anxiety. Instead, it aims to engage the reader with clever and amusing insights, making the tone witty.
