ATI TEAS Reading Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which term is most closely aligned with the definition of the term working man as it is defined in the following passage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Plebeian. In the context of a "working man," plebeian refers to a member of the common people or the working class. The term working man typically denotes someone who performs manual labor for wages, which aligns closely with the definition of plebeian. Explanation: 1. Plebeian refers to the common people or working class. 2. A working man is typically someone who performs manual labor for wages. 3. Therefore, the term plebeian closely aligns with the definition of a working man. Summary: - Viscount and Entrepreneur do not relate to the working class or manual labor. - Bourgeois typically refers to the middle class, not the working class like a working man.
Question 2 of 5
Which word is most closely synonymous with the word patronage as it appears in the following statement?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Auspices. Patronage refers to the support or sponsorship of someone or something. Auspices also relate to support or protection, making it the most closely synonymous choice. Aberration means deviation from the norm, adulation means excessive admiration, and applause refers to approval or praise, but they do not capture the essence of patronage as closely as Auspices does.
Question 3 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 4 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 5 of 5
Which of the following most logically completes the passage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it logically completes the passage by implying that a war between world powers was extremely likely, providing a plausible explanation for the context given. This choice fits the overall tone and context of the passage. Option B is incorrect as it presents an extreme and absolute statement that does not align with the uncertainty expressed in the passage. Option C is incorrect as it specifies only a few countries and does not address the broader context of the passage that suggests involvement of multiple world powers. Option D is incorrect as it focuses solely on Austria, neglecting the involvement of other world powers as suggested in the passage.
