ATI TEAS 7 Reading Practice Test

1. Based on the context of the passage, the reader can infer that this information is likely to appear in which of the following types of works?

A. A scholarly biography
B. A mystery novel
C. A fictional story
D. A biography

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The passage provides a detailed historical account of Queen Victoria's lineage, ascension to the throne, and reign, making it suitable for a biography. The passage focuses on presenting factual information about Queen Victoria's life rather than analyzing it, which aligns more with a biography than a scholarly paper. It does not contain elements of mystery or fiction, as it recounts historical events and real-life figures. Therefore, a biography is the most appropriate choice based on the content and style of the passage.

2. Why do cicadas make a buzzing sound?

A. To orient via echolocation
B. To attract a mate
C. To locate a food source
D. To ward off predators

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Cicadas make a buzzing sound primarily to attract a mate. This sound is a mating call produced by the males to attract females for reproduction. While echolocation is used by some animals like bats for navigation, cicadas do not use buzzing for orientation. Buzzing is not related to locating a food source or warding off predators in the case of cicadas.

3. According to the aforementioned passage, what is the speaker's second desire for his time in front of the audience?

A. To read a Christmas story
B. For the working man to have a say in the management of the institution designed for his benefit
C. To have an opportunity to stand in their presence
D. For the life of the institution to be essential to the audience as a whole

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. The speaker's second desire for his time in front of the audience is for the working man to have a say in the management of the institution designed for his benefit. This is evident from the passage where the speaker emphasizes the importance of the working man having a share in the management of an institution designed for his benefit. Choice A is incorrect because although reading a Christmas story was mentioned as the first desire, it was not the second desire. Choice C is incorrect as the desire mentioned is not about standing in the audience's presence but rather about the working man having a say in the institution. Choice D is incorrect as it does not align with the speaker's second desire as mentioned in the passage.

A. Enemies of the U.S. do not ever fight for legitimate causes.
B. The community is morally bankrupt.
C. The U.S. is complex.
D. The U.S. is not skilled at warfare.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Throughout the text, the author discusses how American war movies often portray U.S. enemies as lacking legitimate causes. This portrayal can lead to a simplistic view of global conflicts and perpetuate stereotypes. Choice B is incorrect as the text does not discuss the community being morally bankrupt. Choice C is incorrect as the focus is not on the complexity of the U.S. but on the portrayal of enemies and heroes. Choice D is incorrect as the text actually mentions that the hero in the movies is highly skilled at warfare.

C. The close-up shots feel claustrophobic like the perspective is skewed.'
D. This is a tense thrill ride that will not disappoint fans of Joy Taylor or this genre in general.'

Correct answer: A

This statement provides a concrete, verifiable detail from the passage. Choice B describes a subjective observation about the character's behavior, not a fact. Choice C expresses an opinion about the visual effect of the close-up shots, not a factual detail. Choice D offers an opinion about the movie's appeal to fans of a specific genre, rather than presenting a fact from the passage.
