TEAS Reading Practice Test

1. A student is starting a research assignment on Japanese-American internment camps during World War II, but she is unsure of how to gather relevant resources. Which of the following would be the most helpful advice for the student?

A. Conduct a broad internet search to get a wide view of the subject.
B. Consult an American history textbook.
C. Find websites about Japanese-American culture encompassing various aspects such as fashion and politics.
D. Locate texts in the library related to World War II in America and look for references to internment camps in the index.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The most effective way for the student to gather detailed and relevant resources for the research assignment on Japanese-American internment camps during World War II would be to search for specific references in library texts related to World War II. Option A suggesting a broad internet search might provide too much irrelevant information. Option B, consulting an American history textbook, may not offer in-depth coverage of internment camps specifically. Option C, focusing on Japanese culture aspects like fashion and politics, is not directly related to the research topic on internment camps.

2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the author as a reason to visit Carl’s Car Depot?

A. They are offering lifetime warranties on new cars.
B. The sale will only last one day.
C. They have the lowest prices in town.
D. They are offering no money down and low monthly payments.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The author does not mention that Carl's Car Depot is offering lifetime warranties on new cars as a reason to visit. The mentioned reasons include the one-day sale, lowest prices in town, and the offering of no money down and low monthly payments. The extract clearly states that the focus is on the one-day sale, low monthly payments, and the lowest prices available, but there is no mention of lifetime warranties as a reason to visit.

3. Based on the information provided, what is the most logical reason for this?

A. There are more addresses ending with these numbers than with the other numbers.
B. All residences and businesses have addresses ending in these numbers, and they consume the most water.
C. The residents at these addresses are the most likely to consume more water.
D. The city is more concerned about water usage in the latter part of the week.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The town of Audley has implemented a water conservation plan with specific watering schedules based on addresses. The city has designated different days for watering based on the ending digits of addresses, suggesting a concern for regulating water usage throughout the week. Choosing option D as the correct answer aligns with the logical reason behind the designated watering schedule. Option A is incorrect as the distribution of addresses ending with specific numbers is not the central reason for the watering schedule. Option B is incorrect as it generalizes that all addresses ending in specific numbers consume the most water, which is not supported by the provided information. Option C is incorrect as it assumes that residents at specific addresses are the most likely to consume more water, which is not explicitly stated in the given extract.

4. How much will Raoul expect to pay for his computer use at the library?

A. $9
B. $6
C. $12
D. $15

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Raoul estimates that he will need to use the library computer for approximately an hour and a half. Since each 15-minute period beyond the initial 30 minutes incurs a $3 charge, for a total of three additional 15-minute periods, Raoul will need to pay $9 ($3 x 3 = $9). Therefore, Raoul can expect to pay $9 for his computer use at the library. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the information provided in the extract.

5. What is one point on which the scientist and politician agree?

A. Burning fossil fuels causes global temperatures to rise.
B. Global temperatures are increasing.
C. Countries must revisit their energy policies before it's too late.
D. Earth's climate naturally goes through warming and cooling periods.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Global temperatures are increasing.' The scientist and politician both agree on this point based on the context provided. Choice A is incorrect because while it might be a common belief among scientists, the politician's agreement is not explicitly mentioned. Choice C is incorrect as it suggests a course of action rather than a point of agreement. Choice D is incorrect as it contradicts the consensus that global temperatures are currently increasing due to human activities, not just natural climate cycles.
