ATI TEAS 7 Reading Practice Test

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The purpose of the italicized text in the passage is to indicate the title of the opera. This is because italicizing text is a common way to denote titles of works such as books, movies, or operas. In this context, the italicized text is likely referring to the title of the opera "Madame Butterfly." The other choices are incorrect because A does not align with the context of the passage, B doesn't explain the specific use of italics for titles, and C is not relevant as the text is not functioning as a heading.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Patronizing. The author's attitude is condescending and belittling towards those who believe they understand money. The author likely sees them as naive or misguided. A: Supportive - This is incorrect because the author does not show any support towards those who believe they understand money. B: Incriminating - This is incorrect as there is no indication of the author accusing or blaming them for anything. C: Excessive - This is incorrect as there is no mention of the author being overly extreme or excessive in their attitude. In summary, the author's tone is best described as patronizing due to their superior and dismissive attitude towards others' understanding of money.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer, D, supports the conclusion that taking notes and recording audio during an interview is a good practice for journalists because it highlights the benefit of having two resources - notes and audio recording - to refer to while writing the article draft. This ensures accuracy and completeness in the reporting process. Choice A is incorrect as it only mentions the use of a recording device without emphasizing the value of combining notes with audio. Choice B is irrelevant as it discusses the potential troubles of relying solely on a recording device. Choice C is also incorrect as it focuses on the risk of losing part of the interview without providing support for the dual-note method.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because if whole language is less effective than phonics at teaching reading (as stated in the question), then it logically follows that phonics is more effective than whole language. This conclusion is directly supported by the given statement. Choice A is incorrect because the statement implies the opposite. Choice C is not a logical conclusion based on the information provided. Choice D is also incorrect as the statement does not discuss changes in the definition of literacy.
