TEAS Reading Questions

1. Which of the following is not an example of something that the author of Passage 1 states might be found in a fairy tale?

A. Trolls
B. Witches
C. Talking animals
D. Giants

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The author of Passage 1 mentions trolls, elves, giants, and talking animals as examples of imaginary creatures found in fairy tales. However, witches are not specifically mentioned. Therefore, witches are not an example of something the author states might be found in a fairy tale in Passage 1. Choice B is the correct answer. Choice A, trolls, Choice C, talking animals, and Choice D, giants, are all examples provided by the author in the passage, making them incorrect answers.

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

A. Company
B. Courage
C. Game
D. Cause

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.

3. What is the best summary of this article?

A. The assassin who tried to kill President Lincoln and Secretary Seward escaped into the night. After having fired his pistol at the president, he barely eluded authorities and hurried to Seward's residence. There, he stabbed both the secretary and his son, Frederick Seward.
B. A single assassin went on a rampage tonight, starting at Ford's Theater and absconding into the night. He currently remains at large.
C. President Lincoln was shot by an assassin at Ford's Theater; the president is not expected to survive. Secretary Seward and his son were also attacked by an assassin at their home this evening. They remain unconscious, and their chances of survival are questionable. General Grant was scheduled to be at the theater, but changed his plans and was not harmed by the evening's events.
D. General Grant is poised to take over the role of the presidency should President Lincoln die from wounds inflicted upon him at Ford's Theater. Grant was present at a recent Cabinet meeting, where Lincoln expressed hope for the future and spoke kind words about General Lee and the Confederacy.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Choice C is the best summary of the article. It encapsulates the key events that occurred, including President Lincoln being shot at Ford's Theater, the attack on Secretary Seward and his son at their home, and General Grant avoiding harm. It accurately reflects the major developments and outcomes of the tragic events described in the article. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they either focus on specific aspects of the events and omit critical details or introduce irrelevant information not present in the article extract.

4. Given the style of writing for the passage, which of the following magazines would be the best fit for this article?

A. Scientific Spelunking
B. Family Fun Days
C. Adventures for Men
D. Mud Magazine

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The article's style is light-hearted and aimed at families looking for outdoor adventures. It suggests activities suitable for families with children, making Family Fun Days the best fit among the given magazine options. 'Scientific Spelunking' may focus more on the scientific aspects rather than family-friendly fun. 'Adventures for Men' may cater to a male audience rather than families. 'Mud Magazine' seems more focused on mud-related content, which doesn't align with the family-friendly, outdoor adventure theme of the article.

5. Sarah is hosting a brunch for a baby shower and knows that several of the guests are strict vegans. She wants to make sure she prepares certain foods correctly to ensure all her guests have something to eat. In particular, she is looking for recipes for banana bread and blueberry muffins. Which chapter of the cookbook should she consult?

A. Chapter I
B. Chapter II
C. Chapter IV
D. Chapter V

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Chapter II typically focuses on baking and sweet treats, which would likely include recipes for banana bread and blueberry muffins. Sarah should consult this chapter for vegan-friendly versions of these recipes that will cater to her strict vegan guests. Choice A, Chapter I, primarily covers yeast breads, not the specific recipes Sarah is looking for. Choice C, Chapter IV, focuses on elegant, easy entrees, which are not relevant to the sweet treats Sarah wants. Choice D, Chapter V, covers delicious desserts and drinks, but it does not specifically mention the items Sarah is interested in, making it less likely to contain the recipes she needs.
