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 true of hypotheses of the form 'All x and y'?

A. Something that is neither x nor y disproves the hypothesis.
B. Something that is both x and y disproves the hypothesis.
C. Something that is x but not y disproves the hypothesis.
D. Something that is y but not x disproves the hypothesis.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. According to the passage, when encountering evidence that disproves a hypothesis of the form 'All x and y,' something that is x but not y can disprove the hypothesis. Using the example provided in the passage, a monkey (x) that has no hair (not y) would disprove the hypothesis 'All monkeys are hairy.' Choice A is incorrect because something that is neither x nor y is not specifically mentioned in the passage to disprove such hypotheses. Choice B is incorrect because the passage states that something that is both x and y confirms the hypothesis, not disproves it. Choice D is incorrect as the passage does not discuss something that is y but not x disproving the hypothesis; it focuses on x but not y as evidence to disprove the hypothesis.

3. Which statement is not a detail from the passage?

A. Promoters of dietary supplements can make any claims that are supported by research.
B. GMP requirements for large manufacturers went into effect in 2008.
C. The FDA regulates dietary supplements in the same way as prescription medications.
D. Consumers should research supplement claims before making a purchase.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The statement "Promoters of dietary supplements can make any claims that are supported by research" is not a detail from the passage. The passage mentions that manufacturers, not promoters, can make claims supported by research. The primary focus is on the regulations and manufacturing standards for dietary supplements. Choice B is a detail from the passage as it mentions the GMP requirements for large manufacturers going into effect in 2008. Choice C is incorrect as the passage states that FDA regulations for dietary supplements are not the same as those for prescription medications. Choice D is also supported by the passage, emphasizing that consumers should research supplement claims before making a purchase to ensure accuracy and safety.

4. What is the author's point of view?

A. First person
B. Third person limited
C. Third person omniscient
D. Objective

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The passage is told from a third person limited point of view because the thoughts and perspectives of two specific characters, Michael and Lana June, are presented. The narrator provides insight into their thoughts, but remains limited to their viewpoints without revealing the thoughts of any other characters. This extract demonstrates the limited perspective by showing the inner thoughts of Michael and Lana June, indicating a third person limited narrative. Third person omniscient would involve knowing the thoughts of all characters, which is not the case here. First person would involve using 'I' to narrate, which is absent. Objective point of view would present only observable actions without any character's thoughts or feelings, which is not the case in this passage.

5. What prompted Hedy Lamarr to take up inventing?

A. Boredom from her film roles lacking spoken lines
B. Formal training in engineering
C. Her successful inventions like the radio signal technology
D. Working with Howard Hughes' aviation team

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Hedy Lamarr took up inventing due to boredom from her film roles lacking spoken lines. The extract mentions that to relieve her boredom, Lamarr turned to inventing after her film roles did not provide much dialogue.
