Question 1 of 5

Based upon the contextual evidence provided in the passage above, what is the meaning of the term 'enterprise' in the third paragraph?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: 'Enterprise' here refers to a company or organization, particularly one that requires effort and initiative. In the passage, the term 'enterprise' is used in the context of establishing a Mechanic's Institution, emphasizing the involvement and support of the working man in such an organization. Choice B, 'Courage,' is incorrect as the term refers more to determination and initiative in creating and supporting the institution rather than bravery. Choice C, 'Game,' and choice D, 'Cause,' are also incorrect as they do not align with the context provided in the passage.

Question 2 of 5

According to the aforementioned passage, what is the speaker's second desire for his time in front of the audience?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. The speaker's second desire for his time in front of the audience is for the working man to have a say in the management of the institution designed for his benefit. This is evident from the passage where the speaker emphasizes the importance of the working man having a share in the management of an institution designed for his benefit. Choice A is incorrect because although reading a Christmas story was mentioned as the first desire, it was not the second desire. Choice C is incorrect as the desire mentioned is not about standing in the audience's presence but rather about the working man having a say in the institution. Choice D is incorrect as it does not align with the speaker's second desire as mentioned in the passage.

Question 3 of 5

In the table above, how many Heather Gray T-shirts were ordered in a size small in the month of January?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: In this question, the correct answer is A) One. To determine this, we need to carefully analyze the data provided in the table. The table depicts the number of Heather Gray T-shirts ordered by size and month. In January, only one Heather Gray T-shirt was ordered in a size small. Option B) Two is incorrect because the table clearly shows only one Heather Gray T-shirt ordered in a size small in January. Option C) Three and D) Four are also incorrect as they do not align with the data provided in the table. Educationally, this question assesses the test taker's ability to interpret and extract information from tabular data.

Understanding how to navigate and extract information from tables is a crucial skill in various academic and professional settings, making this question relevant for students preparing for exams like the TEAS.

Rationale: The corrected question asks how many more shirts were ordered in size medium than in size small in January. The table shows that two more shirts were ordered in size medium than in size small. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Two.'
