HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is "B: That" because it is used to introduce a defining relative clause, providing essential information about the people who were there that night. "Whom" is incorrect as it is used for objects, not subjects. "Which" is incorrect because it is used for things, not people. "Whose" is incorrect as it indicates possession, not the relationship between the people and the night. In this context, "that" is the most appropriate relative pronoun to refer to the people.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Break. A fracture refers to a break in a bone or a hard structure. This term accurately describes the physical separation or discontinuity of the material. Choice B, Brake, refers to stopping or slowing down, not relevant to the term fracture. Choice C, Cut, involves slicing through something, not necessarily causing a break. Choice D, Cure, means to heal or remedy a condition, which is unrelated to the concept of fracture. Therefore, A is the most fitting description for the term fracture.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Could have gotten. In this sentence, the correct verb form to use after "could have" is the past participle form, which is "gotten" in American English. The phrase "could have gotten" indicates a missed opportunity in the past, which fits the context of the sentence. A: "Get" is incorrect because it is the base form of the verb, and the sentence requires the past participle form. B: "Could have got" is incorrect because "got" is the past tense form, not the past participle form required in this context. D: "Might have get" is incorrect due to incorrect verb form usage - "get" should be in past participle form.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. "Went from" contains a typographical error. The correct phrase should be "went to" instead of "went from." The preposition "to" is used to indicate the destination or endpoint of an action, while "from" indicates the origin or starting point. Therefore, in this context, "went to" is the appropriate choice. A: "To a" is grammatically correct and does not contain a typographical error. B: "Very strong" is also grammatically correct and does not contain a typographical error. C: "Being" is a valid word and does not contain a typographical error.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because 'fast' is used as an adverb to describe how the cars moved. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. In this sentence, 'fast' modifies the verb 'moved'. Choice B uses 'fast' as an adjective to describe the clock, not an adverb. Choice C uses 'fast' as an adjective to describe the pitch, not an adverb. Choice D uses 'fast' as an adjective to describe the cars, not an adverb. Therefore, the sentence in choice A is the only one where 'fast' is correctly used as an adverb.
