ATI TEAS 7 Reading Practice Test

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because it mentions leaving the little girl in her crib with a bottle to try to sleep. This detail indicates that the girl is still in a crib, which is typically used for children around the age of 2-3 years old. Choices A, B, and C do not provide any specific details related to the girl's age or developmental stage, making them irrelevant to determining her age.

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: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the passage likely aims to explain how seemingly insignificant events led to an unlikely princess becoming the queen of England, i.e., Queen Victoria. This purpose is supported by the focus on "small events in history" and the emphasis on her journey to the throne. Choice A is incorrect because the passage does not primarily focus on comparing Queen Victoria's accomplishments with her forebears' failures. Choice B is incorrect because while the passage may touch on the impact of the Victorian Era, its main focus is not solely on introducing the era through Queen Victoria. Choice D is incorrect as it does not align with the central theme of the passage, which is the path to Queen Victoria's ascension to the throne.
