ATI TEAS Reading Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the answer choices gives the best definition of the underlined word in the following sentence? 'Finlay flatly refused to take part in the piano recital, so his parents had to cajole him with the promise of a trip to his favorite toy store.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Coax. In the sentence, "cajole" means to persuade someone to do something by coaxing or flattery. The word "refused" indicates Finlay did not agree initially, but his parents convinced him with a promise. The other choices do not accurately capture the meaning of "cajole" in this context. A: Prevent means to stop something from happening, B: Threaten means to intimidate, and C: Insist means to demand or assert strongly. Only choice D, Coax, aligns with the idea of persuading or sweet-talking someone into doing something.
Question 2 of 5
From the extract, what is the author's point of view?
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.
Question 3 of 5
What can the reader infer from this passage?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the passage suggests that Gulliver is considerably larger than the children playing around him. This can be inferred from the fact that the children are referred to as playing "around" him, indicating a significant size difference between Gulliver and the children. - A is incorrect because there is no mention of the children torturing Gulliver in the passage. - B is incorrect as there is no explicit mention of Gulliver's motivation for traveling in the passage. - D is incorrect because the passage does not provide evidence of Gulliver having a genuine love and enthusiasm for people of all sizes.
Question 4 of 5
Which phrase best describes the purpose of nonfiction writing?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because nonfiction writing serves to inform, entertain, or persuade readers. Informing provides facts and knowledge, entertaining keeps readers engaged, and persuading aims to change or reinforce beliefs. Choice B is incorrect because entertainment is not always the primary purpose in nonfiction. Choice C is incorrect as nonfiction writing is not solely about convincing readers they are wrong. Choice D is incorrect as option A accurately captures the main purposes of nonfiction writing.
Question 5 of 5
Why does the author say it is important to buy locally grown food?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because locally grown food travels the least distance to reach you, reducing transportation emissions and resource usage. This is important for environmental sustainability. Choice A is incorrect because supporting the community is not the main reason mentioned in the question. Choices C and D are also incorrect as they are not directly related to the main reason provided in the question, which is about the impact of distance traveled on the environment.
