Reading TEAS Practice Test

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the passage implies that the famous children's author did not receive adequate publicity for her historical novel. This can be inferred from the fact that the historical novel was not recognized as hers until later, indicating a lack of publicity. Choice A is incorrect because the passage does not mention the quality of the book produced under the pseudonym. Choice B is incorrect as there is no mention of the author's expertise in Antebellum America. Choice D is incorrect because the passage does not compare the popularity of historical fiction novels to children's series.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because the statement reflects the author's tone being persuasive and calling the audience to action. This can be inferred from language that motivates or urges the reader to do something. Incorrect choices: B: Passionate and excitement do not necessarily imply persuasion or a call to action. C: While informative, interest in the subject does not indicate a persuasive tone. D: Somber and anger suggest a different emotional tone, not persuasive.

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: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Kinesthesia. The guide terms provided, kingcraft and klieg light, suggest that the page is likely related to words starting with "k" and possibly related to royalty or lighting. Kinesthesia starts with "k" and is the only word related to movement and physical sensation, which fits the context of the guide terms. A: Kleptomania - This word is not related to the guide terms provided and does not start with "k". B: Knead - While it starts with "k", it is not related to the guide terms and does not fit the context. D: Kickback - This word is not related to the guide terms provided and does not start with "k".

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the second paragraph discusses how confirming and disconfirming evidence impact hypotheses differently. It explains that a single piece of evidence can either support or refute a hypothesis, depending on the context. This aligns with the main idea of the paragraph, which is about the varying effects of evidence on hypotheses. A is incorrect because the paragraph does not focus on the idea of one monkey proving a hypothesis about all monkeys. B is incorrect as it simplifies the complexity of evidence's impact on hypotheses. D is incorrect as the paragraph does not explicitly discuss the failings of the scientific method but rather focuses on the nuanced relationship between evidence and hypotheses.
