HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

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.'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: There. In the sentence, "They're going to the mall to pick up their uniforms for their coach," the word "there" is used incorrectly. "There" indicates a location, while in this context, it should be "their" to show possession. "Their" is the correct possessive form for the word "uniforms." "They're" is a contraction for "they are" and is used correctly in the sentence. "Going" is also used correctly as the verb describing the action. Thus, "there" is the only word that is not used correctly 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: Complication. A complication is an undesired problem that arises as a result of another event. It is something that adds difficulty or complexity to a situation. In contrast, B: Complement means something that completes or goes well with something else. C: Procedures refer to a series of steps or actions to achieve a specific goal, not necessarily an undesired problem. D: Implemented means put into effect, which is not directly related to an undesired problem resulting from another event.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Mr. In an address, the salutation is the greeting used to address the recipient, typically a title or honorific followed by the recipient's last name. In this case, "Mr." is the salutation as it is used to address Mr. Ryan. The other choices are incorrect because: A: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. is the street address. B: 20003 is the zip code (not the area code). C: Ryan is the recipient's last name, not the salutation.
