ATI TEAS Reading

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The final comment of the passage indicates the speaker's determination to continue looking for Hyde. This conclusion is supported by the speaker's explicit statement of "I shall go on and continue my search." The speaker's clear intention to persevere in searching for Hyde directly aligns with option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because there is no evidence in the passage to suggest the speaker is considering a name change, experiencing an identity crisis, or has mistakenly been looking for the wrong person. The correct answer, D, is the only option that directly reflects the speaker's stated intention to persist in the search for Hyde.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The purpose of the repetition in the passage is to emphasize Mr. Utterson's anguish in failing to identify Hyde's whereabouts. By continuously repeating certain words or phrases related to this theme, the author highlights the intensity of Mr. Utterson's distress and frustration. This repetition helps to underscore the significance of Hyde's mysterious disappearance to Mr. Utterson, reinforcing the idea that his inability to locate Hyde is causing him great distress. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not align with the specific focus on Mr. Utterson's anguish related to Hyde's whereabouts.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the author implies that if people do not follow his suggestions, global warming and the depletion of natural resources will continue. This is supported by the fact that the author's suggestions are likely aimed at addressing these issues. Choices A and B are incorrect because the author does not specifically mention running out of resources in 10 years or a sharp rise in water and energy prices as consequences. Choice D is incorrect as the author's suggestions are likely broader in scope than just impacting local farmers.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: It scares children. In the passage, the word 'Juggernaut' is used in a context that implies fear or intimidation, particularly towards children. The author's choice of this word suggests a sense of something imposing or powerful that evokes fear in a specific demographic, in this case, children. The other choices are incorrect as they do not align with the context provided in the passage. Choice A is incorrect because 'Juggernaut' is not described as an apparition that appears at daybreak. Choice C is incorrect as there is no mention of 'Juggernaut' being associated with space travel. Choice D is incorrect as there is no indication that Mr. Utterson finds 'Juggernaut' soothing.

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.
