HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet Questions

Question 1 of 5

Select the word that means 'about to happen.'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, impending. "Impending" means about to happen or looming. The prefix "im-" means "into" or "towards," and "pend" means "to hang." Therefore, impending suggests something is hanging over us and about to happen soon. A: Depending means relying on or influenced by something. B: Offending means causing displeasure or annoyance. C: Suspending means temporarily stopping or delaying.

Question 2 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 3 of 5

Which sentence uses the VERB correctly?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the verb "wore" agrees with the subject "I" in past tense. The other choices have verbs that do not match the subject or are not in the correct tense. A has "saw" which is the past tense of "see" but the subject is "I" not "you." B has "sang" which is the past tense of "sing" but again the subject is "I" not "the national anthem." C has "ran" which is the past tense of "run" but the subject is "I" not "Nibbles the Rabbit."

Question 4 of 5

Select the word that means 'about to happen.'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, impending. "Impending" means about to happen or looming. The prefix "im-" means "into" or "towards," and "pend" means "to hang." Therefore, impending suggests something is hanging over us and about to happen soon. A: Depending means relying on or influenced by something. B: Offending means causing displeasure or annoyance. C: Suspending means temporarily stopping or delaying.

Question 5 of 5

Which word in the sentence needs to be corrected for proper grammar?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: A. In the sentence, "A dog barked loudly," the article "A" is grammatically correct as it precedes the singular noun "dog." The other choices do not need correction as they are grammatically sound in the sentence. "About it" is a prepositional phrase, "With" is a preposition, and "Made" is the past tense verb. Therefore, the only word that needs correction for proper grammar is choice B, "A."
