ATI TEAS 7

Reading TEAS Practice Test

1. On which day of the week will they be able to water their lawn?

A. Tuesday
B. Wednesday
C. Thursday
D. Saturday

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Based on the town's watering schedule, residents with addresses ending in 7 should water their lawns on Wednesdays. The Morgan family's address ends in 7, so they should set up their watering schedule for Wednesdays. Therefore, the correct answer is Wednesday. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they correspond to days designated for addresses ending in other numbers according to the town's schedule.

2. Based on the scenario provided, which of the following inferences can be validly made?

A. This director consistently produces unsuccessful movies.
B. Movie reviews have no impact on the success of a film.
C. The movie reviewers' assessments of the first movie were correct.
D. The director's next movie will receive positive reviews.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Choice C is the correct answer because the scenario indicates that the negative reviews of the first movie were accurate, as the subsequent poor performance of the movie aligns with the critics' assessments. Choices A and D are incorrect as the scenario only provides information about the first movie and its repercussions, not about the director's consistent performance or the future reception of their movies. Choice B is incorrect because the scenario clearly demonstrates that negative reviews had a significant impact on the movie's performance, contradicting the idea that movie reviews have no influence.

3. Using the guide words degressive and delectation at the top of a dictionary page, which of the following words is most likely to appear on the following page of the dictionary?

A. deleterious
B. dehydrate
C. delay
D. deity

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The guide words degressive and delectation are given, suggesting that the word on the next page would start with 'dei.' In alphabetical order, 'deity' comes after 'delectation' and 'degressive,' making it the most likely word to appear on the following page of the dictionary. Choices A, B, and C do not follow the alphabetical progression based on the guide words provided.

4. Which of the following can be logically inferred from the passage?

A. The Vikings disliked exploring the New World.
B. Leif Erikson's banishment led to his exploration of Canada.
C. Leif Erikson never shared his stories with the King of Norway.
D. Historians have difficulty pinpointing events in Viking history.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. It can be inferred from the passage that historians have difficulty definitively pinpointing Viking historical events. The passage highlights the uncertainty around Leif Erikson's birth year, conflicting accounts of interactions with natives, and the lack of clarity regarding specific events in Viking history. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. There is no indication in the passage that the Vikings disliked exploring the New World; Leif Erikson's banishment did not directly lead to his exploration of Canada but rather his desire to spread Christianity and find new lands; and there is no mention of Leif Erikson not sharing his stories with the King of Norway.

5. Which of the following events occurred fourth on the timeline?

A. Helped found the National Geographic Society
B. Developed a metal detector
C. Moved to Canada
D. Started a school for the deaf

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The event that occurred fourth on the timeline was starting a school for the deaf. Looking at the provided extract, we can see that the order is significant when discussing a timeline. Out of the given events, founding a school for the deaf would come fourth in chronological order. 'Helped found National Geographic Society,' 'Developed a metal detector,' and 'Moved to Canada' would precede starting a school for the deaf in a chronological timeline, making them incorrect choices.
