ATI TEAS 7 Reading Practice Test

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the passage indicates that the first option involves completing a comprehensive research project, which is likely to offer the most extra credit. This can be inferred as the best choice for maximizing extra credit. Option A is incorrect as it is not mentioned in the passage that another extra credit project will be offered. Option B is incorrect because there is no indication that choosing two options will result in double extra credit. Option C is incorrect as there is no explicit mention of the third option offering only one quarter of the extra credit.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The word 'depressed' is used metaphorically in the passage, indicating a feeling of sadness or low spirits. Option D, "Pushed down," best captures this meaning as it conveys the sense of being weighed down or emotionally burdened. Option A, "Very unhappy," is too general and does not specifically address the idea of being mentally burdened. Option B, "Decreased appreciably," and Option C, "Exhaled hard," do not align with the emotional context of the word as used in the passage. Therefore, Option D is the correct choice as it accurately reflects the emotional state implied by the term 'depressed.'

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: More plastic is collected than cardboard. Rationale: 1. The chart clearly shows that cardboard weighs 30 units and plastic weighs 20 units. Therefore, cardboard weighs more than plastic. 2. Based on the data, it cannot be concluded that more plastic is collected than cardboard, as the weight of cardboard is higher. Summary of other choices: A: Paper products, including cardboard, make up a majority of the collected materials. This is supported by the data, as cardboard is the highest in weight. B: One quarter of the materials collected are made of glass. This is supported by the data, as glass weighs 10 units out of a total of 80 units. D: Plastic and cardboard together represent a larger portion of the collected materials than glass bottles. This is supported by the data, as the combined weight of plastic and cardboard is 50 units, which is higher than the weight of glass.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the passage likely aims to explain how seemingly insignificant events led to an unlikely princess becoming the queen of England, i.e., Queen Victoria. This purpose is supported by the focus on "small events in history" and the emphasis on her journey to the throne. Choice A is incorrect because the passage does not primarily focus on comparing Queen Victoria's accomplishments with her forebears' failures. Choice B is incorrect because while the passage may touch on the impact of the Victorian Era, its main focus is not solely on introducing the era through Queen Victoria. Choice D is incorrect as it does not align with the central theme of the passage, which is the path to Queen Victoria's ascension to the throne.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: A stereotype. Archie's statement categorizes all Northerners as eating bland food, which is a simplified and overgeneralized belief based on their geographical location. Stereotypes are fixed, oversimplified beliefs about a particular group. In this case, the statement does not consider individual differences within the group and is based on assumptions rather than facts. Summary of other choices: B: An inference - Inferences are conclusions or deductions based on evidence or reasoning, not a generalization like in the given statement. C: A bias - Bias involves unfair favoritism or prejudice, but the statement does not show favoritism or prejudice, it is just a generalization. D: A generalization - Although the statement is a generalization, the term "stereotype" more accurately describes the nature of the statement as it is a fixed and oversimplified belief about a group.
