ATI TEAS Reading Questions
Question 1 of 5
Why does the author repeat the phrase 'I had a dream' throughout the text?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The repetition of 'I had a dream' in the text serves to emphasize the speaker's excitement and vision. By repeating this phrase, the author highlights the importance and impact of the dream, reinforcing the central theme of hope and aspiration. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because the primary purpose of the repetition is not persuasion, demonstration of authority, or creating a rhythmic effect, but rather to underscore the speaker's emotions and aspirations.
Question 2 of 5
What does the author imply will happen if people do not follow his suggestions?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The author implies that neglecting the recommended actions will lead to the continued degradation of the environment and depletion of resources. The passage emphasizes the importance of being proactive in conserving resources to combat global warming and the depletion of natural resources. Choice A is incorrect because the author doesn't specify a timeframe for running out of resources. Choice B is incorrect as the focus is on environmental impact rather than economic consequences. Choice D is incorrect as the passage does not specifically mention the impact on local farmers.
Question 3 of 5
What is the best definition of the underlined word in the selection below, taken from the third paragraph of the passage? 'You should try to be aware of your consumption of water and energy.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In this context, 'consumption' refers to the use or depletion of resources like water and energy. It is not about using the greatest amount (choice A) or the least amount (choice C) but about being mindful of how much you use to avoid depletion. 'Illness of the lungs' (choice B) is completely unrelated to the context of resource conservation discussed in the passage.
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.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following statements would be LEAST relevant in a formal essay about artist Salvador Dal?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Option C is subjective and personal, making it less suitable for a formal essay about Salvador Dal. In formal writing, it is important to maintain objectivity and focus on factual information rather than personal opinions. Choices A, B, and D provide relevant information about Dal, his artwork, and his collaborations, which are more appropriate for inclusion in a formal essay.
