TEAS Reading Practice Test 2025

The correct answer is (C).

As stated in article (B)(2), bulk food is required to some, but not all, of the labeling requirements in article (A). The requirement not included is (A)(4), which is the name and place of business of, among others, the packer.

Answer (A) is incorrect because as stated in article (B)(1), if available, the original manufacturer or processor’s label should be attached to the product.
All other answers refer to conditions from article (A), but they refer also to bulk food under article (B)(2).

Answer (B) is incorrect because as stated in article (A)(5), the name of the food source of each major allergen must be stated.

Answer (D) is incorrect because as stated in article (A)(1), the product’s name, or a description of it, is a requirement.

Answer (E) is incorrect because as stated in article (A)(2-3), whether if made of one or more ingredients, the quantity, or weight, of the ingredients must be stated.

The correct answer is (A).

Let's break down why this is correct and why the other options are wrong:

• Correct - Option A: The passage tells us that bacteria literally "chop down" the rings in caffeine molecules and "harvest energy" from this process. Think of it like bacteria breaking down a complex Lego structure (caffeine) into smaller pieces and using the process to generate energy for themselves.

Wrong answers explained:

• Option B (cannot be used for energy) directly contradicts what the passage says about bacteria harvesting energy from caffeine.
• Option C (is hazardous) isn't mentioned anywhere in the passage. The text actually suggests that bacteria can process caffeine quite effectively.
• Option D (is not processed in the liver) is incorrect because the passage isn't talking about where bacteria process caffeine - it's discussing how they process it.

Fun fact from the passage: Both humans and bacteria can break down caffeine, but they do it differently. Human liver enzymes remove CH3 groups (a type of chemical group), while bacteria break down the entire ring structure of the caffeine molecule. The simplest form of this breakdown product is called xanthine (the "door" as mentioned in the text).

This explanation gives us a clearer picture of how bacteria can actually benefit from caffeine, rather than just being affected by it like humans are!

The correct answer is (B).

Let's break this down step by step:

What we're looking for:

• Days where the vertical line (showing the range of sunny weather probability) extends ABOVE 20%
  We need to check BOTH the lower and upper points of each vertical line

Analyzing the graph:

• Most days have vertical lines starting BELOW 20% at their lower point
• Only Day 8 has its entire vertical line above 20% (ranging from about 25% to 95%)
• Days 1 and 7 might look promising at first, but their lower points start at 15%, so they don't qualify
• The remaining days have even lower chances of sunny weather

Wrong answers explained:

• Option A (0): Misses the one qualifying day
• Option C (2): Might be chosen if you incorrectly count Days 1 or 7, but remember to check the lower points!
• Options D (3) and E (4): Far too many days - shows a misunderstanding of the "above 20%" requirement

Remember: Just like how a nurse must be precise when reading patient vital signs, we need to be exact when reading these weather probabilities. A small misreading could lead to poor farming decisions!

The correct answer is (B). Details about the technical issues Carlos encountered while trying to live stream the video.

Let's do a careful analysis of the passage clues (just as precisely as we would read medical charts):
Key evidence supporting B:

• The text mentions that Carlos "asked his grandson's assistance in streaming live video" - suggesting he might not be technically savvy
  This was meant to be a simple family stream to share with his 94-year-old mother
• The line "He never expected what came next" directly follows the mention of setting up the livestream
  The setup involves connecting a TV to a camera in the owl box - a potentially complex technical arrangement

Why the other options don't work:

• Option A (Eggs and owlets): We already know there are two owls in the box, and natural breeding behavior wouldn't be unexpected
• Option C (Multinational popularity): While the first line mentions "affecting millions," that's likely a broader reference to the entire story's impact, not what immediately follows
• Option D (Mother's infatuation): The mother is only briefly mentioned as the intended audience, not a major part of the upcoming narrative

Key lesson: When making predictions, we should focus on the immediate context (the streaming setup) rather than jumping to broader conclusions. Just as in healthcare, sometimes the most immediate situation (technical difficulties) is more relevant than the bigger picture (eventual popularity).

The correct answer is (D).

Step 1: draw a square:
     
Step 2: draw a diagonal connecting the upper right-hand vertex (corner) to the lower left-hand vertex:

• Connect upper right to lower left
• Like drawing a line for an incision, precision matters 

Step 3: draw a line extending from the midpoint of the diagonal to the upper left-hand vertex:

Creates a triangular pattern in the square       

Step 4: write the letter "A" at both ends of the diagonal:   

Step 5: write the letter "B" next to the remaining vertices (corners):   

Step 6: rotate by 45 degrees clockwise:

Why D is correct:

• When we rotate the completed figure 45° clockwise
• The A-A diagonal becomes diagonal
• The "B"s end up in correct positions
• The additional line from midpoint matches

Why others are wrong: A: Rotation is incorrect B: Letters are in wrong positions C: Incorrect orientation of the square

Remember: Just as in medical procedures, each step must be followed exactly in the right order to get the correct result. One misplaced line or incorrect rotation changes everything!

The correct answer is (D).

Let's break down this memo.

The Memo: Think of it like a group text from your boss.

The memo is basically telling everyone that the office kitchen is a mess. Nobody likes walking into a dirty kitchen, especially if they're trying to eat. So, management is asking everyone to clean up after themselves. They've even made it easier by getting a new dishwasher and stocking up on cleaning supplies. Plus, they're offering bonuses as an incentive – like a reward for being responsible.

Now, let's look at the multiple-choice answers, explaining why each one is right or wrong:

• A. Employees are expected to bring wet wipes and paper towels with them.

  • WRONG. The memo specifically says the wipes and towels are already there in the cupboard. It's like your mom saying, "The cleaning supplies are under the sink," not "Go buy some."

• B. Employees are expected to install the dishwasher before using it.

  • WRONG. The memo says the dishwasher has already been installed. This means it's ready to go – no assembly required. Imagine showing up to work and your boss telling you to build the microwave before you can use it – that wouldn't make sense!

• C. Managers are asking employees to leave behind a clean kitchen at the end of the day.

  • WRONG. The memo focuses on cleaning up after lunch. It's about not leaving a mess for the next person who uses the kitchen during the day, not about a final cleanup at closing time. Think of it like cleaning up your dishes right after you eat, not waiting until the end of the day to do a massive kitchen cleaning.

• D. Employees who leave a clean table and sink behind may receive bonuses.

  • CORRECT. This is exactly what the memo says. They're offering bonuses to encourage people to keep the kitchen clean. It's like a reward for good behavior.

Key takeaway: When reading memos or instructions at work (or even in school), pay close attention to the specific wording. The memo says the supplies are in the cupboard, the dishwasher is already installed, and the cleaning is expected after lunch. These small details are what make the difference between a right and wrong answer.

The correct answer is (B) - The Ultimate Glossary for Skin Care Physicians

Let's break down why answer (B) is correct, thinking like a healthcare professional who needs to efficiently find accurate information:

Key Analysis Steps:

1. Word Analysis:
   • The root "derm-" indicates skin-related condition (as in dermatologist)
   • "-fibroma" suggests some type of growth or mass
   • This is clearly a specialized skin term
2. Why each source would or wouldn't be helpful:

BEST CHOICE - B (Skin Care Physicians Glossary):

• Most specific to skin conditions
• Comprehensive for skin specialists
• Likely contains detailed definitions of specialized skin terms
• Perfect match for looking up a skin-specific medical term

Why other options fall short:

• Option A (Internal Medicine):
  • Wrong medical specialty - internal organs, not skin
  • Too broad and mismatched with "derm-" prefix
• Option C (Skin Allergies Guide):
  • Too narrow in focus - only covers allergies
  • May miss other skin conditions
  • Not comprehensive enough for general skin terminology
• Option D (General Medical Dictionary):
  • Too broad - while it would likely have the term, it's not the most efficient choice
  • When a specialized resource is available, it's better to use that

Healthcare Tip: Just as you would consult a specialist for specific medical conditions, you should consult specialized references for specific medical terms!
