ATI TEAS Reading Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which option best exemplifies an author's use of alliteration and personification?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it exemplifies both alliteration and personification. Alliteration is present with the repetition of "shuddered," "swayed," "shook," and "screamed." Personification is demonstrated by attributing human-like qualities to the object "it" that is described as being able to shudder, sway, shake, and scream. The other choices do not exhibit both literary devices as clearly as option B. Choice A primarily focuses on simile and does not include personification. Choice C uses metaphor rather than personification. Choice D includes personification with the mention of a "siren call," but it lacks the alliterative elements present in option B.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following statements would be LEAST relevant in a formal essay about artist Salvador Dal�?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale after 5 retries.
Question 3 of 5
What is the definition of the word haunt in the following passage?
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.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
Which of the following is a primary source that would be relevant to a biography about Jules Verne?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because letters exchanged by Jules Verne and a close friend are primary sources that directly reflect his thoughts, feelings, and personal interactions. These letters provide firsthand insight into his life and relationships, making them valuable for a biography. Articles written after his death (A) may contain interpretations or biases, reviews of his works (B) focus on the reception of his writings rather than his personal life, and film adaptations (C) are secondary sources based on his works rather than his personal life.
