TEAS Reading Questions

1. Given this new information, which cinema is the best option for Thomas and his sister?

A. Twin Theatres
B. Reveler Cinema
C. Big Screen 14
D. Best Seat in The House

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The best cinema option for Thomas and his sister after the unexpected rearrangement of their schedules is Best Seat in The House. This is because the only showing available after 10:30 p.m. is at 11:25 p.m. at Best Seat in The House. None of the other cinemas have showings available after 10:30 p.m., making Best Seat in The House the optimal choice for them to catch the film. Twin Theatres, Reveler Cinema, and Big Screen 14 do not have showings after 10:30 p.m., so they are not suitable options for Thomas and his sister given their schedule constraints.

2. Teddy has been assigned to write a history paper about the United States during the Cold War. What choice of three classes would likely be the most useful?

A. 100, 300, 700
B. 100, 300, 800
C. 100, 400, 900
D. 200, 300, 900

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Based on the Dewey Decimal System, which is a library classification system, the subjects related to Chomsky's work, which touches on philosophy, social sciences, and history, fall under classes 100, 400, and 900. Therefore, these classes would be the most useful for Teddy's history paper about the United States during the Cold War. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not include the specific classes related to the required subjects for Teddy's paper.

3. Based on the information in the announcement, what might the reader assume about how the university determined the lunch schedule?

A. The university arranged the schedule alphabetically, according to the name of each department.
B. The university checked with the departments in advance to make sure faculty members would be amenable to the change.
C. The university checked to see when the most faculty members from each department would be entering the canteen.
D. The university was more concerned about crowding in the canteen and simply decided to establish different times for each department.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The announcement states that the university polled the various departments about schedules to determine a recommended roster for each department to visit the canteen for lunch. This indicates that the university checked to see when the most faculty members from each department would be entering the canteen to offset the crowding issue. Therefore, the correct choice is C. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because there is no mention of arranging the schedule alphabetically, checking with departments in advance for agreement, or simply establishing different times without considering faculty members' schedules in the announcement. The university's approach was to tailor the lunch schedule based on each department's peak entry times to manage the crowding problem effectively.

4. Which of the following conclusions is best supported by the passage?

A. Julia will find a job closer to her home.
B. Julia will lose her job.
C. Julia will feel guilty and return to work.
D. Julia will drive home and go to sleep.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Based on the passage provided, there is no indication that Julia will find a job closer to her home, lose her job, or feel guilty and return to work. The passage simply states that Julia is tired and ready to go home, indicating that she will likely drive home and go to sleep. Throughout the passage, Julia faces a series of frustrating events that culminate in her decision to leave work and head home. There is no mention of job hunting, job loss, or feelings of guilt, making these options unsupported by the text.

5. As used in the passage, what does the word 'depressed' most nearly mean?

A. Very unhappy
B. Decreased appreciably
C. Exhaled hard
D. Pushed down

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this context, 'depressed' means 'pushed down' as it refers to the action of pushing down the plunger to force out the clog in the pipe. The word 'depressed' is used to describe the physical action of pressing down, not to convey emotions like being very unhappy (choice A), to decrease appreciably (choice B), or to exhale hard (choice C), making these choices incorrect.
