HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
Select the meaning of the word 'precipitous' in the sentence: 'The precipitous change was considered a good thing.'
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Abrupt. In the sentence, 'precipitous' is describing a change that happened suddenly or unexpectedly. This aligns with the definition of 'abrupt,' meaning sudden or unexpected. The other choices, A: Difficult, C: Gentle, and D: Unanticipated, do not accurately capture the meaning of 'precipitous' in the context of the sentence. 'Difficult' refers to challenges, 'gentle' suggests something calm or mild, and 'unanticipated' means not expected, none of which fully match the context of a sudden change described as 'precipitous.'
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following sentences is INCOMPLETE?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because "While the band played" is a dependent clause that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It lacks a subject or verb to make it a complete thought. In contrast, choices A, C, and D are complete sentences with subjects and predicates. Choice A has a subject "We" and a predicate "sat out the next dance." Choice C has a subject "The band" and a predicate "played a nice slow song." Choice D has a subject "Everyone" and a predicate "enjoyed the dance." Therefore, choice B is incomplete as it lacks the necessary components to form a complete sentence.
Question 3 of 5
Which word correctly completes the sentence? "Be careful not to ___ the bottle while you carry it to the table."
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Break. In this sentence, the word should be a verb that means "to cause to separate into pieces." "Break" fits this context, as it conveys the action of accidentally causing the bottle to split into pieces. The other choices, A: Brak, C: Brick, and D: Brake, do not make sense in the sentence and do not convey the intended meaning. "Brak" is a misspelling, "Brick" is a noun that does not make sense in this context, and "Brake" is a verb that means to stop or slow down, which is not appropriate here. Therefore, "Break" is the only word that fits the sentence correctly.
Question 4 of 5
What is the meaning of the word 'hygiene' in the sentence: 'It is not wise to skimp on personal hygiene'?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Measures contributing to cleanliness. Hygiene refers to practices that promote cleanliness and health. In the context of the sentence, skimping on personal hygiene would mean neglecting activities such as washing, grooming, and sanitation. Choice B, financial resources, and Choice C, insurance, are unrelated to the meaning of hygiene in this context. Choice D, friendliness, is also irrelevant as it does not relate to cleanliness or health.
Question 5 of 5
Which verb correctly completes the sentence? After throwing their sleeping bags into the backseat of their car, they ___ more than 400 miles to reach their destination.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Drove. In this sentence, the action of driving more than 400 miles to reach their destination is in the past tense. "Drove" is the simple past tense form of the verb "drive," which correctly indicates a completed action in the past. A: "Driving" is the present participle form, which does not match the past tense context of the sentence. B: "Having driven" is the present perfect tense, which does not match the simple past tense required in the sentence. D: "Had drove" is grammatically incorrect as it uses "had" with the past participle "drove," which is not a correct verb form.
