ATI TEAS READING AND MATH (WITH QUESTIONS & ANSWERS) READING 1. Ernestine has a short research project to complete, and her assigned topic is the history of the Globe Theatre in London. Which of t... he following sources would be the best starting point for Ernestine’s research? a. Roget’s Thesaurus b. Webster’s Dictionary c. Encyclopedia Britannica d. University of Oxford Style Guide EXPLANATION: The best starting point for a research project on the Globe Theatre of London would be the Encyclopedia Britannica. A thesaurus is an excellent place to find synonyms, while a dictionary is an excellent place to find word meanings. However, neither would contain information about the history of the Globe Theatre. (While writing, Ernestine might find herself in need of a better word or a word meaning; in this case, the thesaurus and dictionary will be useful.) The style guide will be helpful if the research needs more attention on grammar. 2. Which of the answer choices gives the best definition for the underlined word in the following sentence? Adelaide attempted to assuage her guilt over the piece of cheesecake by limiting herself to salads the following day. a. increase b. support c. appease d. conceal EXPLANATION: To assuage is to lessen the effects of something, in this case Adelaide’s guilt over eating the piece cheesecake. The context of the sentence also suggests that she feels sorry for eating it and wants to compensate th following day. 3. Which of the following would best support the argument that people cause global climate change?a. The average global temperature has increased 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit since 1880. b. Common greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide and water vapor. c. Most of the greenhouse gases today come from burning things like coal and other fossilfuels for energy. d. The average person breathes out about 1.0 kg of carbon dioxide every day, while the average cow produces about 80 kg of methane. EXPLANATION: This choice shows how greenhouse gases are released from burning coal and other fuels, which people need for power. The first, second, and third choices are facts, but don’t show a relationship to the main idea. The next question is based on the following passage. Mother Jones, who was a labor activist, wrote the following about children working in cotton mills in Alabama: “Little girls and boys, barefooted, walked up and down between the endless rows of spindles, reaching thin little hands into the machinery to repair snapped threads. They crawled under machinery to oil it. They replaced spindles all day long; all night through…six-year-olds with faces of sixty did an eight-hour shift for ten cents a day; the machines, built in the North, were built low for the hands of little children.” 4. Which of the following do you predict occurred after this was published? a. More children signed up to work in the factories b. Cotton factories in the South closed c. Laws were passed to prevent child labor d. The pay scale for these children was increased EXPLANATION: Mother Jones was agitating for laws protecting child workers, and legislators finally responded to her appeal and that of others. None of the other statements would logically follow. The words would not have been an inducement to children to work in factories, so response 1 is incorrect. Answer 2 is also not right; the South continued to be a major textile region. Increasing pay for child labor was not the solution to the problem; thus, the fourth response is incorrect. 5. The guide words at the top of a dictionary page are considerable and conspicuous. Which of the following words is an entry on this page? a. consonantal b. consumption c. conserved. conquistador EXPLANATION: The word consonantal would fall between the words considerable and conspicuous on a dictional page. The word consumption would follow conspicuous, while the words conserve and conquistador would precede considerable. 6. Which of the following is not a reliable resource for a research paper? a. The New York Times b. A personal interview with a politician c. A medical journal d. Wikipedia EXPLANATION: Information from the internet lacks the reliability of other published sources or primary source there is less accountability. Wikipedia is especially dangerous to use because it is subject to the editing o unlimited non-experts. Primary sources such as interviews are permissible and even media like documentarie are acceptable if they are from reliable sources. The next question is based on the following passage. On April 30, 1803, the United States bought the Louisiana Territory from the French. Astounded and excited by the offer of a sale and all that it would mean, it took less than a month to hear the offer and determine to buy it for $15 million. Right away the United States had more than twice the amount of land as before, giving the country more of a chance to become powerful. They had to move in military and governmental power in this region, but even as this was happening, they had very little knowledge about the area. They did not even really know where the land boundaries were, nor did they have any idea how many people lived there. They needed to explore. 7. What prediction could you make about the time immediately following the Louisiana Purchase?a. Explorers were already on the way to the region. b. The government wanted to become powerful. c. People in government would make sure explorers went to the region. d. Explorers would want to be paid for their work. EXPLANATION: People in government knew that the purchase would make the country more powerful, but the la sentence specifically states that they needed to explore. Answer choice C is the best prediction of what would occ next. Answer choices A and D infer too much, since you cannot assume any of these based on this passage given. Answer choice B is simply a statement that does not predict anything for the future. 8. Follow the instructions below to transform the starting word into a different word.  Start with the word PREVARICATE.  Remove the P.  Replace the first A with the final E.  Remove the I from the word.  Remove the C from the word.  Remove the A from the word.
