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
The phrase labyrinths of lamplighted city contains an example of what?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Alliteration. Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in neighboring words. In the phrase "labyrinths of lamplighted city," the repeated "l" sound in "labyrinths" and "lamplighted" exemplifies alliteration. The other choices are incorrect because there is no exaggeration (hyperbole), direct comparison using "like" or "as" (simile), or implied comparison without using "like" or "as" (metaphor) in the given phrase.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is NOT a way that theme is conveyed in nonfiction text?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because meter is a poetic device used in poetry, not typically found in nonfiction text. Nonfiction texts convey themes primarily through events, word choice, and imagery. Events help illustrate the theme by showing how characters or situations evolve. Word choice influences the tone and mood, enhancing the reader's understanding of the theme. Imagery creates vivid mental pictures that support the theme. However, meter, which refers to the rhythmic pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in poetry, is not commonly used in nonfiction writing to convey themes. Therefore, D is the correct choice.
Question 4 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.
