ATI TEAS Reading Questions

Question 1 of 5

Jorgen is doing a project on the ancient Greek mathematician and poet Eratosthenes. In his initial review, Jorgen learns that Eratosthenes is considered the first person to calculate the circumference of the earth, and that he is considered the first to describe geography as it is studied today. To which section of the library should Jorgen go to find one of the early maps created by Eratosthenes?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D (900). Eratosthenes was a renowned geographer and his early maps would fall under the Dewey Decimal Classification System's 900s, which cover history and geography. This section encompasses various topics related to the earth, including maps and cartography. Choices A (100), B (300), and C (600) correspond to different library sections unrelated to geography or history, making them incorrect for locating maps by Eratosthenes.

Question 2 of 5

Jorgen learns that Eratosthenes was fascinated by the story of the Trojan War and attempted to determine the exact dates when this event occurred. Unfamiliar with the story of the fall of Troy, Jorgen decides to look into writings such as The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer. To which section of the library should Jorgen go to locate these works?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Jorgen is looking for works by Homer, specifically The Iliad and The Odyssey, which are classic Greek literature. These works fall under the category of literature and ancient history, so Jorgen should go to the 800 section of the library, which is where books on literature are typically located. Sections 100, 200, and 700 are not relevant in this case as they cover different topics such as philosophy, religion, and the arts, respectively. Therefore, the correct answer is D (800).

Question 3 of 5

What is the purpose of the second passage?

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.

Question 4 of 5

What is one way the author specifies that a person can try to be aware of their consumption of water and energy?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: - Choice C is correct because it directly addresses the awareness of consumption by advising not to leave appliances or chargers plugged in when not in use. - This action helps to reduce energy wastage and promotes energy conservation. - By unplugging devices, individuals actively participate in reducing their energy consumption. - Choices A, B, and D do not directly relate to being aware of water and energy consumption, making them incorrect.

Question 5 of 5

Which of the answer choices gives the best definition of the underlined word in the following sentence? 'Finlay flatly refused to take part in the piano recital, so his parents had to cajole him with the promise of a trip to his favorite toy store.'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Coax. In the sentence, "cajole" means to persuade someone to do something by coaxing or flattery. The word "refused" indicates Finlay did not agree initially, but his parents convinced him with a promise. The other choices do not accurately capture the meaning of "cajole" in this context. A: Prevent means to stop something from happening, B: Threaten means to intimidate, and C: Insist means to demand or assert strongly. Only choice D, Coax, aligns with the idea of persuading or sweet-talking someone into doing something.
