ATI TEAS Reading

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).

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: To emphasize the speaker's excitement. The repetition of the phrase 'I had a dream' serves to highlight the speaker's emotional connection to the dream, conveying their enthusiasm and passion. This repetition creates a sense of excitement and importance, drawing the audience's attention to the significance of the dream. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because the primary purpose of the repetition in this context is not persuasion, demonstrating authority, or creating a rhythmic effect, but rather to emphasize the speaker's emotional state.

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: Simile. A simile is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things using "like" or "as." In the poem, the spider is compared to a weaver, emphasizing its skill and precision in creating its web. This comparison enhances the reader's understanding of the spider's characteristics. Choice A (Idiom) is incorrect because an idiom is a phrase that has a different meaning from the literal interpretation. Choice B (Haiku) is incorrect as a haiku is a form of Japanese poetry with specific syllable patterns. Choice C (ABBA rhyming convention) is incorrect as it refers to a specific rhyme scheme in poetry, which is not relevant to the use of the spider in the poem.
