ATI TEAS Reading

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Narrative. Autobiographies and memoirs are forms of writing that tell a personal story or account of events, making them fall under the category of narrative writing. They focus on personal experiences and are written in a storytelling format. Choice A (Fiction) is incorrect because autobiographies and memoirs are based on real events and are non-fictional. Choice C (Informational text) is incorrect because while autobiographies and memoirs can provide information, their primary focus is on storytelling rather than providing factual information. Choice D (Research papers) is incorrect because research papers are academic documents that present findings from research studies, which is different from the personal storytelling nature of autobiographies and memoirs.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because letters exchanged by Jules Verne and a close friend are primary sources that directly reflect his thoughts, feelings, and personal interactions. These letters provide firsthand insight into his life and relationships, making them valuable for a biography. Articles written after his death (A) may contain interpretations or biases, reviews of his works (B) focus on the reception of his writings rather than his personal life, and film adaptations (C) are secondary sources based on his works rather than his personal life.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Primary or chief. In the context of the text, 'principal' is most likely referring to a primary or chief entity. This is evident as the word is used to describe someone or something that holds a leading or primary position. The other choices are incorrect because 'principal' does not typically refer to an acolyte (B), an individual who provides nurturing (C), or one in a subordinate position (D) in this context. 'Principal' is commonly used to denote the primary or most important person or thing in a particular situation, making option A the correct choice.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 500. Jorgen should go to section 500 of the library, which typically houses books related to natural sciences and mathematics. The sieve of Eratosthenes is a mathematical algorithm used for finding prime numbers, making section 500 the most relevant for current applications of this theory. Other choices (A: 0, B: 100, C: 400) are not related to mathematics or natural sciences, so they are incorrect for this specific topic.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because the purpose of the second passage is to inform the reader about what assault is and how it is committed. This can be inferred from the content of the passage which describes the nature and characteristics of assault without discussing lethal force. Choice B is incorrect because the second passage does not mention assault being a minor example of lethal force. Choice C is incorrect as there is no evidence of the second passage aiming to disprove the previous passage. Choice D is incorrect because the second passage does not argue that the use of assault is more common than the use of lethal force; it simply focuses on explaining assault itself.
