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: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because it logically completes the passage by implying that a war between world powers was extremely likely, providing a plausible explanation for the context given. This choice fits the overall tone and context of the passage. Option B is incorrect as it presents an extreme and absolute statement that does not align with the uncertainty expressed in the passage. Option C is incorrect as it specifies only a few countries and does not address the broader context of the passage that suggests involvement of multiple world powers. Option D is incorrect as it focuses solely on Austria, neglecting the involvement of other world powers as suggested in the passage.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the word "consumption" in this context refers to the act of using up resources such as water and energy. "Depletion of goods" accurately captures the meaning of consumption in this sentence. Choice A, "Using the greatest amount," is incorrect as it does not necessarily imply depletion. Choice B, "Illness of the lungs," is completely unrelated to the context. Choice C, "Using the least amount," is also incorrect as it does not reflect the meaning of consumption in this sentence.

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: Third person omniscient. In the text, the narrator has access to the thoughts and feelings of multiple characters, indicating omniscience. This perspective allows the author to provide insights into various characters' perspectives. The other choices are incorrect because: A (First person) would involve "I" or "we" narration, B (Third person limited) would focus on one character's thoughts, and D (Objective) would present only observable actions without access to characters' internal thoughts.
