ATI TEAS Reading Questions

Question 1 of 5

Due to his many interests and pursuits, Eratosthenes dabbled in a variety of fields, and he is credited with a theory known as the sieve of Eratosthenes. This is an early algorithm used to determine prime numbers. To which section of the library should Jorgen go to find out more about the current applications of the sieve of Eratosthenes?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Jorgen should go to the 500 section of the library, which is dedicated to science and mathematics. The sieve of Eratosthenes is a mathematical concept, so current applications and research related to it would be found in this section. Choice A (0) is incorrect as it is for general works. Choice B (100) is for philosophy and psychology, which are unrelated to mathematics. Choice C (400) is for languages, not mathematics.

Question 2 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.

Question 3 of 5

Jorgen is doing a project on the ancient Greek mathematician and poet Eratosthenes. In his initial review, Jorgen learns that Eratosthenes is considered the first person to calculate the circumference of the earth, and that he is considered the first to describe geography as it is studied today. To which section of the library should Jorgen go to find one of the early maps created by Eratosthenes?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The 900 section contains works on history, geography, and biography, which is where Jorgen is likely to find early maps by Eratosthenes. Eratosthenes was not only a mathematician but also a geographer, so his maps would be classified under history and geography, making Section 900 the most appropriate choice. Sections 100, 300, and 600 do not specifically cater to history, geography, or biography where Eratosthenes' early maps would be located.

Question 4 of 5

What is the central idea conveyed in the passage?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The passage describes Infinite Jest as a modern classic that holds significant value, indicating that it is highly recommended for everyone to read it. Choice A focuses solely on the praise of the book without emphasizing the recommendation to read it. Choice B, mentioning it as a page-turner, does not capture the essence of it being a modern classic that everyone should read. Choice C is a factual statement about the authorship but does not encompass the main point that the book is a modern classic that deserves to be read by all.

Question 5 of 5

What can one infer about the meaning of the word 'Juggernaut' from the author's use of it in the passage?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. Juggernaut is used to describe something that is powerful and overwhelming, instilling fear. In the passage, Mr. Utterson's mind is toiling and besieged by questions, engaging his imagination and leaving him restless in the darkness of the night. This conveys a sense of fear and being overwhelmed, aligning with the meaning of 'Juggernaut.' Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not relate to the context provided in the passage. The passage does not mention any apparition appearing at daybreak, association with space travel, or Mr. Utterson finding it soothing.
