HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: ingest. Ingest means to take into the body, usually by swallowing. "Congest" means to block or fill up, not related to intake. "Collect" means to gather or accumulate, not specifically related to taking into the body. "Suppress" means to restrain or prevent, not related to intake. Therefore, B is the correct answer as it directly relates to the action of taking something into the body.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: patent. The word 'patent' means open or accessible to all. It is the most appropriate synonym for 'open' among the choices. 'Inverted' (A) means turned upside down, not open. 'Convent' (C) refers to a religious community, not open. 'Converted' (D) means changed or transformed, not open. Therefore, 'patent' is the correct choice based on the definition and context provided.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Themselves. In the sentence, 'Most children must learn for themselves the importance of good manners,' 'themselves' is the reflexive pronoun that correctly refers back to the subject 'children.' 'Themself' (A) and 'theirself' (B) are non-standard forms and are not grammatically correct. 'Theirselves' (C) is also incorrect as 'theirs' is a possessive pronoun, not a reflexive pronoun. Therefore, D is the only grammatically correct option that maintains subject-verb agreement and properly refers back to the subject in the sentence.

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: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: stealthy. 'Insidious' means proceeding in a gradual, subtle way but with harmful effects. This aligns with the definition of stealthy. The word 'deadly' (B) is close but doesn't capture the gradual aspect. 'Collapsed' (C) and 'new' (D) are completely unrelated and do not fit the definition of 'insidious.'
