TEAS Reading Practice Questions Questions

Question 1 of 5

Which of the following words, as used in the timeline, indicates the chronology of events in Barton's life?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: After. In a timeline, "After" indicates the sequence of events happening chronologically. It denotes that one event occurs subsequent to another. For example, if we say Barton graduated from college after getting a job, it implies a chronological order. Choice A: Front does not indicate sequencing in a timeline. It typically refers to the beginning or forefront of something. Choice B: First implies the initial event in a sequence, but it doesn't necessarily show the chronological order of all events. Choice D: Through denotes a period of time or completion, but it doesn't specify the order of events.

Question 2 of 5

Which of the following sources would be the best to understand the suspense genre better?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, an encyclopedia entry about the suspense genre, because encyclopedias provide comprehensive and authoritative information on various subjects. Encyclopedias are written by experts in the field and offer in-depth explanations, historical context, and critical analysis of the genre. This source would offer a well-rounded understanding of the suspense genre, including its origins, key characteristics, notable works, and influential authors. A public library's digital catalog (A) may list books in the suspense genre but may not provide detailed information to understand the genre better. Online reviews (B) are subjective and may not offer a comprehensive overview of the genre. The New York Times bestseller list (C) may showcase popular suspense books but does not provide in-depth analysis or historical context like an encyclopedia entry would.

Question 3 of 5

Which of the following evidence from the passage supports the inference that providing nap rooms at work can improve employee productivity?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because it provides concrete scientific evidence that napping can improve cognitive functions, directly linking it to productivity. Choice A only mentions fatigue without a direct correlation to productivity. Choice C mentions successful companies adopting nap rooms but lacks evidence of productivity improvement. Choice D is a practical implementation but lacks the scientific backing provided in choice B.

Question 4 of 5

Which of the following perspectives can be inferred from the passage?

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.

Question 5 of 5

Why was Lamarr's invention not of interest to the US?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because the navy preferred to use the work of military engineers over Lamarr's invention. This is because military engineers were more trusted and had a proven track record in developing technologies for the military. Lamarr, being an actress and inventor, did not have the same credibility in the eyes of the military. The other choices are incorrect because Hollywood spies (A) and military preoccupation (C) do not directly explain the lack of interest in Lamarr's invention, and suspicion of her patent validity (D) is not mentioned in the context of the question.
