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: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: "Were raised." In this context, the phrase should be in the passive voice to indicate that the glasses were lifted by the guests. The verb "raised" is the correct past participle form of "raise" when used in the passive voice. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they either use the incorrect past participle form of the verb ("risen" in A and B) or use an intransitive verb that does not convey the intended meaning ("arose" in D, which means to come into existence).

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: form. In the context of the sentence, the word "form" is not spelled correctly. The sentence describes a nurse looking for a missing patient, so the correct spelling should be "room" instead of "form." The other choices (A: patient, C: nurse, D: missing) are spelled correctly and are relevant to the context of the sentence. Therefore, the word "form" is the only one that is misspelled in this context.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Threw. In this sentence, the verb needs to be in the past tense to match the action of tossing caps in the air. 'Threw' is the past tense form of 'throw,' which correctly conveys the action that has already taken place. Rationale: - A: Thorough means complete or detailed, which doesn't fit the context of the sentence. - B: Through is a preposition or adverb indicating movement from one side to the other, not a verb. - D: Throwing is the present participle form of 'throw,' which doesn't match the past tense context of 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.
