ATI TEAS Reading

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: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: To constantly visit. In the passage, the word "haunt" is used to describe something that repeatedly visits or remains in a place. Levitating (A) means to float in the air, which is not related to the context. Terrorizing (C) means causing fear, but the passage does not indicate fear. Daunting (D) means intimidating, which is not the same as constantly visiting. Therefore, only choice B aligns with the definition of "haunt" as used in the passage.

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.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B (400 - Language) because this section typically covers linguistic topics such as alphabets and word meanings. Section 200 (Philosophy & Psychology) does not specifically focus on language study. Sections 700 (Arts & Recreation) and 900 (History & Geography) are also unrelated to language studies. Therefore, B is the most appropriate choice for Jorgen to learn about the Greek alphabet and the word 'beta'.

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.
