ATI TEAS Reading

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Cause and effect order. This is because the passage presents a sequence of events where one action leads to another, creating a cause and effect relationship. The passage explains how one event influences or results in another, showing a clear progression of cause leading to effect. The other choices are incorrect because the passage does not focus on comparing or contrasting different elements (B), describing locations or physical arrangements (C), or presenting events in chronological order (D).

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 500. Jorgen should go to section 500 of the library, which typically houses books related to natural sciences and mathematics. The sieve of Eratosthenes is a mathematical algorithm used for finding prime numbers, making section 500 the most relevant for current applications of this theory. Other choices (A: 0, B: 100, C: 400) are not related to mathematics or natural sciences, so they are incorrect for this specific topic.

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.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the author implies that if people do not follow his suggestions, global warming and the depletion of natural resources will continue. This is supported by the fact that the author's suggestions are likely aimed at addressing these issues. Choices A and B are incorrect because the author does not specifically mention running out of resources in 10 years or a sharp rise in water and energy prices as consequences. Choice D is incorrect as the author's suggestions are likely broader in scope than just impacting local farmers.

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.
