TEAS Reading Questions

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B (200) because this section is most likely to contain information on traditional Judaism due to its classification system. In libraries, books are categorized by subject matter, and religion-related topics are usually found in the 200 section. The other choices (A, C, D) correspond to unrelated subjects like mathematics (100), social sciences (300), and history (900), making them less likely to contain information on traditional Judaism. Therefore, section 200 is the most relevant for Teddy's research on traditional Judaism.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the main argument of the essay is about technology potentially replacing printed material. This is supported by evidence and analysis throughout the essay. Choice A is incorrect as it focuses on the ease of reading devices rather than the main argument. Choice B is incorrect as it mentions a historical invention not directly related to the essay's argument. Choice C is incorrect as it discusses how people receive information rather than the potential replacement of printed material by technology.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Witches. The author of Passage 1 mentions trolls, talking animals, and giants as examples of elements found in fairy tales, but does not specifically mention witches. Therefore, witches are not included in the list provided by the author. This makes choice B the correct answer. The other choices (A, C, D) are mentioned by the author as potential elements in fairy tales, so they are incorrect options.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because it expresses an opinion about Leif Erikson deserving more credit for his accomplishments. This statement cannot be proven as a historical fact as the amount of credit someone deserves is subjective. On the other hand, choices A and B provide information that can be historically verified, making them facts. Choice D states a historical fact about Leif Erikson exploring the Americas before Columbus, which can be supported by historical evidence. Therefore, choice C stands out as the opinion among the options provided.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Laws were passed to prevent child labor. After Mother Jones's publication, public awareness of child labor issues increased, leading to pressure on lawmakers to address the problem. This resulted in the passing of laws to protect children from exploitation in the workplace. Choice A is incorrect as increased awareness would likely deter children from signing up for dangerous work. Choice B is unlikely as the closure of cotton factories would have broader economic implications. Choice D is also unlikely as the focus was on preventing child labor rather than increasing pay scales.
