Reading TEAS Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 9
On which day of the week will they be able to water their lawn?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Based on the town's watering schedule, residents with addresses ending in 7 should water their lawns on Wednesdays. The Morgan family's address ends in 7, so they should set up their watering schedule for Wednesdays. Therefore, the correct answer is Wednesday. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they correspond to days designated for addresses ending in other numbers according to the town's schedule.
Question 2 of 9
Which of the following statements would make the best conclusion to an essay about civil rights activist Rosa Parks?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The best conclusion to an essay about civil rights activist Rosa Parks should reflect her significance and impact. Choice A, while true, focuses on a specific event rather than summarizing her broader influence. Choice C, though factual, is not a strong conclusion as it does not capture the essence of her legacy. Choice D, although related to her actions, is not as encompassing as Choice B. Option B is the most suitable conclusion as it highlights Rosa Parks' heroism, emphasizing how she inspired change and symbolized the power of ordinary individuals in making a difference.
Question 3 of 9
To which chapter should Regina turn if she needs to find out what to do if the car begins overheating?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: An overheating vehicle is considered an emergency situation, so Regina should refer to Chapter VI, which covers emergencies in the car owner's manual. Chapter III focuses on Audio, Climate, and Voice Controls, which is not relevant to an overheating car. Chapter IV discusses Pre-Driving and Driving, which does not address overheating. Chapter I pertains to Vehicle Instruments and is not the appropriate chapter for handling an overheating car.
Question 4 of 9
Based on the passages, what can we infer about the relationship between assault and lethal force?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: From the passages provided, it can be inferred that an assault with deadly intent can lead to an individual using lethal force to defend themselves and preserve their well-being. This suggests a relationship between assault with deadly intent and the potential use of lethal force in self-defense situations. Choice A is incorrect because lethal force is not always a direct result of assault, as it depends on the circumstances. Choice B is incorrect as not all assaults lead to the use of lethal force by someone. Choice D is incorrect as the definition of deadly force and assault are distinct, with deadly force typically being used in self-defense situations where there is an immediate threat of severe harm or death.
Question 5 of 9
How does the author generally present the information in the extract?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The author generally presents the information in a cause-effect format. The scientist talks about the increase in carbon dioxide emissions by countries like China, India, and Brazil leading to rising global temperatures. The politician, on the other hand, argues against a causal link between carbon emissions and temperature increase, suggesting a natural rise in temperatures. The information is structured around the cause of carbon emissions and its effect on global temperatures. Choice A, chronological order, is incorrect as the information is not presented in a time sequence but rather based on cause and effect. Choice B, comparison-contrast, is not the best description as the focus is more on cause and effect rather than comparing or contrasting different elements. Choice D, conclusion-premises, is also incorrect as the information does not follow the pattern of drawing conclusions based on premises but rather discusses the relationship between carbon emissions and temperature increase.
Question 6 of 9
Which of the following would be a useful source of information to determine the validity of the argument presented in the passage?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The passage emphasizes the importance of studying a foreign language in high school for future success, including college acceptance rates and job market demand. To evaluate the argument's validity, it is crucial to examine the direct impact of studying a foreign language on college acceptance rates. Choice D is the correct answer because it directly addresses this aspect by comparing the correlation between high school students' study of a foreign language and subsequent college acceptance rates. This comparison would provide concrete evidence supporting or refuting the argument presented in the passage. Choices A, B, and C, though related to language education, do not directly assess the specific relationship between studying a foreign language in high school and college acceptance rates, making them less relevant for evaluating the argument's validity.
Question 7 of 9
Which of the following, if true, would most seriously undermine the explanation proposed by the author in Passage I, third paragraph?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because the author in Passage I discusses the concept of lethal force in self-defense being justified and absolved from blame when used as a last resort to prevent severe harm or death. Choice A undermines this by stating that an instance of lethal force in self-defense is not absolutely absolved from blame and highlights that the law considers the necessary use of force at the time it is committed. This challenges the absolute justification of such actions and would seriously undermine the author's argument. Choice B is incorrect because compliance with the law does not necessarily address the justification and absolution of lethal force. Choice C is incorrect as forgiving lethal force in all cases is not the focus of the author's argument. Choice D is incorrect because the intent of the user is a crucial factor in evaluating the use of lethal force, contrary to what is stated.
Question 8 of 9
If Cynthia wants to pick the meal where there would be the least options for her and fellow vegetarians, during what meal should she bring the platter?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Dinner has the least vegetarian options, making it the most suitable meal for Cynthia to bring her platter. The dinner menu includes Roasted pork loin, seared trout, and bacon-bit topped macaroni and cheese, which are all non-vegetarian dishes. Breakfast, Lunch, and Cocktail hour all have vegetarian options available, making them less suitable for Cynthia's vegetarian platter.
Question 9 of 9
Which of the following battles occurred first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Shiloh occurred earlier than the other battles listed. Shiloh took place in April 1862 during the American Civil War, making it the earliest battle among the options provided. Cold Harbor occurred in June 1864, Chancellorsville in May 1863, and Atlanta in July-September 1864. Therefore, Shiloh is the correct answer. Choice A (Cold Harbor) is incorrect because it happened after Shiloh. Choice B (Chancellorsville) is incorrect because it occurred after Shiloh. Choice C (Atlanta) is also incorrect as it took place after Shiloh.
