HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: hungry. "Ravenous" means extremely hungry, to the point of being voracious. This term specifically refers to an intense feeling of hunger, not to generosity (A), outspokenness (B), or friendliness (C). Therefore, D is the correct answer as it directly aligns with the definition of "ravenous."

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Cervical opening. In the context of labor, dilation refers to the opening of the cervix to allow the baby to pass through during childbirth. Blood pressure (A), birth process (C), and exhumation (D) are not related to the specific medical term dilation in this context.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Me. In the sentence, "My sister gave the chocolate bar to my friend and me," 'me' is the correct pronoun to use as the object of the verb 'gave.' The pronoun 'me' is used when the person is the object of the action. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'myself' is a reflexive pronoun used for emphasis or to refer back to the subject, 'us' is the object pronoun for plural, and 'we' is a subject pronoun.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: apparent. In the sentence, 'overt' is used to describe signs that are not concealed but rather visible or obvious. Dr. Harris suspected Alicia might have the flu despite the absence of visible or obvious signs. 'Concealed' (A) means hidden, 'expert' (C) refers to a person with advanced knowledge, and 'delectable' (D) means delicious. These choices do not fit the context of the sentence.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, "Quickly." In this sentence, "quickly" is an adverb modifying the verb "answering." Adverbs describe how an action is done, making it the appropriate choice to describe the manner in which answering should be done. Choices A, B, and C do not function as adverbs and do not properly modify the verb in the sentence. A simply functions as an adjective, B is incomplete, and C is not a correct comparative form. Therefore, "Quickly" is the correct choice for this sentence.
