The next four questions are based on the following passage.The Bermuda TriangleThe area known as the Bermuda Triangle has become such a part of popular culture that itcan be difficult to separate fact from fiction. The interest first began when five Navy planesvanished in 1945, officially resulting from "causes or reasons unknown." The explanations aboutother accidents in the Triangle range from the scientific to the supernatural. Researchers havenever been able to find anything truly mysterious about what happens in the Bermuda Triangle, ifthere even is a Bermuda Triangle. What is more, one of the biggest challenges in considering thephenomenon is deciding how much area actually represents the Bermuda Triangle. Most considerthe Triangle to stretch from Miami out to Puerto Rico and to include the island of Bermuda.Others expand the area to include all of the Caribbean islands and to extend eastward as far asthe Azores, which are closer to Europe than they are to North America.The problem with having a larger Bermuda Triangle is that it increases the odds of accidents.There is near-constant travel, by ship and by plane, across the Atlantic, and accidents are expectedto occur. In fact, the Bermuda Triangle happens to fall within one of the busiest navigationalregions in the world, and the reality of greater activity creates the possibility for more to gowrong. Shipping records suggest that there is not a greater than average loss of vessels within theBermuda Triangle, and many researchers have argued that the reputation of the Triangle makesany accident seem out of the ordinary. In fact, most accidents fall within the expected margin oferror. The increase in ships from East Asia no doubt contributes to an increase in accidents. And asfor the story of the Navy planes that disappeared within the Triangle, many researchers nowconclude that it was the result of mistakes on the part of the pilots who were flying into stormclouds and simply got lost.12. Which of the following describes this type of writing?a. Narrativeb.Persuasivec. Expositoryd. Technical13.

One of the biggest challenges in considering the phenomenon is deciding how much area actuallyrepresents the Bermuda Triangle.d. Researchers have never been able to find anything truly mysterious about what happens in theBermuda Triangle, if there even is a Bermuda Triangle.14. With which of the following statements would the author most likely agree?a. There is no real mystery about the Bermuda Triangle because most events have reasonableexplanations.b. Researchers are wrong to expand the focus of the Triangle to the Azores, because this increasesthe likelihood of accidents.196ATI TEAS Secrets

ATI TEAS Practice Test #1fourth son of King George III. Ahead of Edward were three brothers, two of whom became kingbut none of whom produced a legitimate, surviving heir. King George's eldest son, who waseventually crowned King George IV, secretly married a Catholic commoner, Maria Fitzherbert, in1783. The marriage was never officially recognized, and in 1795, George was persuaded to marry adistant cousin, Caroline of Brunswick. The marriage was bitter, and the two had only one daughter,Princess Charlotte Augusta. She was popular in England where her eventual reign was welcomed,but in a tragic event that shocked the nation, the princess and her stillborn son died in childbirthin 1817.Realizing the precarious position of the British throne, the remaining sons of KingGeorge III were motivated to marry and produce an heir. The first in line was Prince Frederick, theDuke of York. Frederick married Princess Frederica Charlotte of Prussia, but the two had nochildren. After Prince Frederick was Prince William, the Duke of Clarence. William marriedPrincess Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, and they had two sickly daughters, neither of whomsurvived infancy. Finally, Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent, threw his hat into the ring with hismarriage to Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. The Duke of Kent died less than a yearafter his daughter's birth, but the survivingDuchess of Kent was not unaware of the futurepossibilities for her daughter. She took every precaution to ensure that the young PrincessVictoria was healthy and safe throughout her childhood.Princess Victoria's uncle, William, succeeded his brother George IV to become King WilliamIV. The new king recognized his niece as his future heir, but he did not necessarily trust hermother. As a result, he was determined to survive until Victoria's eighteenth birthday to ensurethat she could rule in her own righ t without the regency of the Duchess of Kent. The king'sfervent prayers were answered: he died June 20, 1837, less than one month after Victoria turnedeighteen. Though young and inexperienced, the young queen recognized the importance of herposition and determined to rule fairly and wisely. The improbable princess who became queenruled for more than sixty-three years, and her reign is considered to be one of the mostimportant in British history.ATI TEAS Practice Test #134. Which of the following is a logical conclusion that can be drawn from the information in the passageabove?a. Victoria's long reign provided the opportunity for her to bring balance to England and right thewrongs that had occurred during the reigns of her uncles.b. It was the death of Princess Charlotte Augusta that motivated the remaining princes to marry andstart families.c. The Duke of Kent had hoped for a son but was delighted with his good fortune in producing thesurviving heir that his brothers had failed to produce.d. King William IV was unreasonably suspicious of the Duchess oKent's motivations, as she caredonly for her daughter's well -being.35.

Based on the context of the passage, the reader can infer that this information is likely to appear inwhich of the following types of works? a. A scholarly paperb. A mysteryc. A fictional storyd. A biographyThe next five questions are based on the following passage.In 1603, Queen Elizabeth I of England died. She had never married and had no heir, so thethrone passed to a distant relative: James Stuart, the son ofElizabeth's cousin and onetime rivalfor the throne, Mary, Queen of Scots. James was crowned King James I of England. At the time,he was also King James VI of Scotland, and the combination of roles would create a spirit ofconflict that haunted the two nations for generations to come.The conflict developed as a result of rising tensions among the people within the nations, aswell as between them. Scholars in the 21stcentury are far too hasty in dismissing the role ofreligion in political disputes, but religion undoubtedly played a role in the problems that facedEngland and Scotland. By thetime of James Stuart's succession to the English throne, theEnglishpeople had firmly embraced the teachings of Protestant theology. Similarly, the Scottish Lowlandswas decisively Protestant. In the Scottish Highlands, however, the clans retained their Catholicfaith. James acknowledged the Church of England and still sanctioned the largely Protestanttranslation of the Bible that still bears his name.James's son King Charles I proved himself to be less committed to the Protestant Church ofEngland. Charles married the Catholic Princess Henrietta Maria of France, and there weresuspicions among the English and the Lowland Scots that Charles was quietly a Catholic.Charles'sown political troubles extended beyond religion in this case, and he was beheaded in 1649.Eventually, his son King Charles II would be crowned, and this Charles is believed to have convertedsecretly to the Catholic Church. Charles II died without a legitimate heir, and his brother Jamesascended to the throne as King James II.James was recognized to be a practicing Catholic, and his commitment to Catholicism wouldprove to be his downfall. James's wife Mary Beatrice lost a number of children during their infancy,and when she became pregnant again in 1687 the public became concerned. If James had a son,that son would undoubtedly be raised a Catholic, and the English people would not stand for this.Mary gave birth to a son, but the story quickly circulated that the royal child had died and the childnamed James's heir was a foundling smuggled in. James, his wife, and his infant son were forced toflee; and James's Protestant daughter Mary was crowned the queen.In spite of a strong resemblance to the king, the young James was generally rejected amongthe English and the Lowland Scots, who referred to him as "the Pretender."

With each class comes a newchallenge, however, and as any good instructor will tell you, sometimes the original plan has tochange. As a result,I propose the following options for students to make up their score:1.I will present the class with an extra credit project at the next course meeting. The extra creditproject will be worth 150% of the point value of the essay exam that has just been completed.While I will not drop the essay exam score, I will give you more than enough of a chance to makeup the difference and raise your overall score.2.I will allow each student to develop his or her own extra credit project. This project may reflectthe tenor of option number 1 (above) but will allow the student to create a project more in his orher own line of interest. Bear in mind, however, that this is more of a risk. The scoring for optionnumber 2 will be more subjective, depending on whether or not I feel that the project is asuccessful alternative to the essay exam. If it is, the student will be awarded up to 150% of thepoint value of the essay exam.3.I will provide the class with the option of developing a group project. Students may form groupsof 3 to 4 and put together an extra credit project that reflects a stronger response to thequestions in the essay exam. This extra credit project will also be worth 150% of the point valueof the essay exam. Note that each student will receive an equal score for the project, so there is arisk in this as well. If you are part of a group in which you do most of the work, each member ofthe group will receive equal credit for it. The purpose of the group project is to allow students towork together and arrive at a stronger response than if each worked individually.If you are interested in pursuing extra credit to make up for the essay exam, please choose one ofthe options above. No other extra credit opportunities will be provided for the course.Good luck!Dr. Edwards44. Which of the following describes this type of writing?a. Technicalb. Narrativec. Persuasived.

The purpose of the group project is to allow students to work together and arrive at a strongerresponse than if each worked individually.d. At the beginning of the semester, I informed the class that I have a strict grading policy and that allscores will stand unquestioned.The next seven questions are based on this passage.In the United States, where we have more land than people, it is not at all difficult for persons ingood health to make money. In this comparatively new field there are so many avenues of successopen, so many vocations which are not crowded, that any person of either sex who is willing, at leastfor the time being, to engage in any respectable occupation that offers, may find lucrativeemployment.Those who really desire to attain an independence, have only to set their minds upon it, andadopt the proper means, as they do in regard to any other object which they wish to accomplish,and the thing is easily done. But however easy it may be found to make money, I have no doubtmany of my hearers will agree it is the most difficult thing in the world to keep it. The road towealth is, as Dr. Franklin truly says, "as plain as the road to the mill." It consists simply inexpending less than we earn; that seems to be a very simple problem. Mr. Micawber, one ofthose happy creations of the genial Dickens, puts the case in a strong light when he says that tohave annual income of twenty pounds per annum, and spend twenty pounds and sixpence, is tobe the most miserable of men; whereas, to have an income of only twenty pounds, and spendbut nineteen pounds and sixpence is to be the happiest of mortals.Many of my readers may say, "we understand this: this is economy, and we know economy iswealth; we know we can't eat our cake and keep it also." Yet I beg to say that perhaps more cases offailure arise from mistakes on this point than almost any other. The fact is, many people think theyunderstand economy when they really do not.47.
