HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: stop. 'Suppress' means to put an end to something by force or authority. It implies restraining or preventing something from happening. Choice B, 'push up,' does not align with the definition of 'suppress.' Choice C, 'release,' is the opposite of 'suppress' as it means to set free or let go. Choice D, 'strain,' is not synonymous with 'suppress' as it means to exert oneself physically or mentally. Therefore, choice A is the best description of 'suppress' as it accurately reflects the meaning of the word.

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.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Best. In this sentence, we are looking for the superlative form of the adjective to complete the sentence. "Best" is the superlative form of the adjective "good," indicating the highest level of quality. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because "more greater" is redundant, "great" is the positive form of the adjective and not superlative, and "more greatest" is also redundant and incorrect grammatically. Therefore, "best" is the correct choice as it correctly provides the superlative form needed in the sentence.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Were. In this sentence, the verb should be in the subjunctive mood to express a hypothetical situation. "Were" is the correct subjunctive form for the verb "to be" in the past tense when used in this context. It indicates an unreal or hypothetical situation. The other choices, B: Is, C: Be, and D: Was, are incorrect because they do not correctly represent the subjunctive mood required for hypothetical or unreal situations. "Is" is present tense, "Be" is an infinitive form, and "Was" is past tense but not the correct subjunctive form in this context.

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.
