ATI TEAS Reading Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is NOT a way that theme is conveyed in nonfiction text?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Meter is a poetic device used in poetry to establish rhythm and rhyme, which is not typically found in nonfiction texts. In nonfiction, theme is often conveyed through events, word choice, and imagery. Events help illustrate the main ideas and messages, word choice influences the tone and mood of the text, and imagery enhances the descriptive elements.
Therefore, meter, being more closely related to poetry, is not a common way to convey theme in nonfiction.
Extract:
"Did you ever come across a protege of his"â€one Hyde?" He asked. "Hyde?" repeated Lanyon. "No. Never heard of him. Since my time." That was the amount of information that the lawyer carried back with him to the great, dark bed on which he tossed to and fro until the small hours of the morning began to grow large. It was a night of little ease to his toiling mind, toiling in mere darkness and besieged by questions. Six o'clock struck on the bells of the church that was so conveniently near to Mr. Utterson's dwelling, and still he was digging at the problem. Hitherto it had touched him on the intellectual side alone; but now his imagination also was engaged, or rather enslaved; and as he lay and tossed in the gross darkness of the night in the curtained room, Mr. Enfield's tale went by before his mind in a scroll of lighted pictures.
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 used with the repeating 'l' sound in 'labyrinths of lamplighted city.' This phrase emphasizes the visual and auditory imagery through the repetition of the 'l' sound.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. Hyperbole would be an exaggeration not present in the phrase, simile would involve a comparison using 'like' or 'as,' and a metaphor would imply a direct comparison without the use of 'like' or 'as,' which is not found in the given phrase.
Extract:
There are several reasons why the new student cafe has not been as successful as expected. One factor is that prices are higher than originally advertised, so many students cannot afford to buy food and beverages there. Also, the cafe closes rather early; as a result, students go out in town to other late-night gathering places rather than meeting friends at the cafe on campus.
Question 3 of 5
Which organizational style is used in the following passage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The passage uses a cause and effect order to explain the reasons for the cafe's lack of success. It presents causes (higher prices and early closure) first, followed by their effects (students unable to afford food and beverages, students going elsewhere). This structure helps readers understand the relationship between the causes and their resulting effects.
Choice B, 'Compare and contrast order,' is incorrect as the passage does not focus on comparing different aspects or contrasting ideas.
Choice C, 'Spatial order,' is incorrect as it does not describe physical locations or arrangements.
Choice D, 'Time order,' is incorrect as the passage does not primarily follow a chronological sequence of events.
Extract:
Global warming and the depletion of natural resources are constant threats to the future
of our planet. All people have a responsibility to be proactive participants in the fight to
save Earth by working now to conserve resources for later. Participation begins with our
everyday choices. From what you buy to what you do to how much you use, your decisions
affect the planet and everyone around you. Now is the time to take action.
When choosing what to buy, look for sustainable products made from renewable or
recycled resources. The packaging of the products you buy is just as important as the
products themselves. Is the item minimally packaged in a recycled container? How did the
product reach the store? Locally grown food and other products manufactured within your
community are the best choices. The fewer miles a product traveled to reach you, the fewer
resources it required.
You can continue to make a difference for the planet in how you use what you bought
and the resources you have available. Remember the locally grown food you purchased?
Don't pile it on your plate at dinner. Food that remains on your plate is a wasted resource,
and you can always go back for seconds. You should try to be aware of your consumption of
water and energy. Turn off the water when you brush your teeth, and limit your showers to
five minutes. Turn off the lights, and don't leave appliances or chargers plugged in when not
in use.
Question 4 of 5
What is one way the author specifies that a person can try to be aware of their consumption of water and energy?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. The author specifically mentions in the passage that individuals should unplug appliances and chargers when not in use to reduce energy consumption.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not directly address the action of being aware of water and energy consumption.
Choice A discusses food waste, choice B focuses on sustainable products and locally grown food, and choice D talks about participation in general without focusing on energy or water consumption.
Extract:
Which phrase best describes the purpose of nonfiction writing?
Question 5 of 5
Which phrase best describes the purpose of nonfiction writing?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: '
To inform, entertain, or persuade readers.' Nonfiction writing aims to provide factual information (inform), engage the audience (entertain), or influence their opinions (persuade).
Choice B is incorrect because informing usually takes precedence over entertaining in nonfiction.
Choice C is incorrect as the primary goal is not to convince readers they're wrong but rather to present information or arguments.
Choice D is incorrect as there are clear purposes for nonfiction writing.
