ATI TEAS 7 Version 1 Reading Questions
Extract:
Bessie Coleman, the first civilian licensed black pilot in the world, was born in 1892 to sharecroppers in Texas, where she attended a segregated school and worked with her family in the cotton fields. She dreamed of becoming a pilot but no flight school in America would accept her, so she moved to France to earn her pilot's license. When she returned to the U.S, she wanted to open a flight school for Black students. She became a stunt flier and performance for paying audiences, which she insisted be desegregated. Following her death in a plane crash in 1926, the Bessie Coleman Aero Club was established in Los Angeles in 1929. She was inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame in 2006
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following statements correctly identifies the sequence of events in the reading?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct sequence of events in Bessie Coleman's life, as described in the extract, is that she was born to sharecroppers in Texas, moved to France to earn her pilot's license, and then returned to the U.S as a stunt pilot. Choice D accurately reflects this sequence. Bessie Coleman did not raise money as a stunt pilot to attend flight school in France (Choice A), she was not sent to France by her parents as a child to become a pilot and then open a flight school (Choice B), and she was not a pilot before being a sharecropper and living in France (Choice C). Therefore, Choice D is the correct answer.
Extract:
The Farallon's are now home to the world's largest population of western gull. Seals have returned, as well as otters and sea lions, which in turn attracts great white sharks. The combination of sharks, underwater currents, and jagged coastline are probably what earned the Farallon's their nickname "Devil's Teeth," though it hasn't stopped a few adventurous people from swimming. Four people have completed the 30-mile swim from the islands to San Francisco; the fastest person completed the journey in 14 hours.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following pieces of evidence does the author use to speculate why the Farallon Islands are called 'The Devil's Teeth'?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The author mentions that the Farallon Islands are home to sharks, otters, sea lions, and seals, which attract great white sharks. Additionally, the combination of sharks, underwater currents, and a jagged coastline are probably what earned the islands the nickname 'Devil's Teeth.' This evidence supports choice A, as it directly links the presence of sharks, choppy currents, and a jagged coastline to the speculated reason behind the islands' nickname.
Extract:
Basic breadmaking steps: first, the ingredients are mixed and kneaded to create a smooth, springy dough. Next comes the first rising stage, or bulk fermentation. The once-fermented dough is then cut and shaped before a second rising step, called proofing. This can take as little as an hour or as long as several hours. finally, the proofed dough is baked until a crispy golden crust forms and the interior is cooked through.
Question 3 of 5
According to the passage, which of the following phrases clarifies the order of the steps in basic breadmaking?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: once-fermented dough is then cut' because it specifies a step that occurs after the first rising stage, which is the bulk fermentation. Cutting and shaping the once-fermented dough comes before the second rising step, known as proofing, effectively clarifying the order of the breadmaking process as outlined in the passage.
Extract:
In 1932, the Australian government lost war against the native emu population. the operation that has since become known as great emu war began as an initiative to combat overpopulation of the crop-destroying birds invading farmland around Chandler and Walgooglan. The initial assault on the flightless avian began November 2 and lasted six days before the military personnel withdrew. efforts resumed on November 12, but by early December, the feathered foes had adopted guerrilla tactics against the targeted wheat fields, rendering military involvement largely ineffective. The Australian government declined further involvement with the ongoing conflict in 1934, 1943, and 1948, despite repeated pleas for assistance by the farmers in the area.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following statements is a logical conclusion based on this report?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The report details the unsuccessful attempts by the Australian government to combat the emu population from 1932. Despite military involvement in the Great Emu War, the emus adapted guerrilla tactics, rendering the efforts largely ineffective. The government declined further involvement with the ongoing conflict in 1934, 1943, and 1948. Therefore, the logical conclusion based on this report is that emus continued to destroy crops in the area through the 1930s and 1940s, as there is no indication of successful eradication or control of the emu population during this period.

Question 5 of 5
Considering that the high school football team's equipment is missing, which of the following pieces of evidence suggests what happened to the equipment?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The most plausible explanation for the missing equipment could be related to a prank exchange between the football team and their rival team from the neighboring town. Since the equipment is missing and there is a history of pranks between the teams, it is likely that this rivalry led to the disappearance of the equipment. The other options, such as parents' concerns about head injuries, failed safety inspection, or budget cuts, do not directly relate to the sudden disappearance of the equipment.
