HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct contraction for 'will not' is A: Won't. The contraction 'won't' is formed by combining 'will' and 'not', where the 'o' from 'not' replaces the 'i' in 'will'. This contraction is widely accepted and commonly used in English language. B: Willn't is not a standard contraction and is not grammatically correct. C: Wouldn't is a contraction for 'would not', not 'will not'. D: Will'nt is a non-standard and incorrect form of contraction.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is "D: Having." In this sentence, the verb form needs to be in the present participle form to show an ongoing action. "Having" is the present participle of the verb "have," which is used to indicate an action in progress. The other choices, A: Going, B: Go, and C: Have, do not fit the context of the sentence as they do not convey the continuous nature of the action required in this sentence. "Going" is a gerund, "Go" is the base form, and "Have" is the infinitive form, none of which are suitable for expressing ongoing action 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: First. In the context of the sentence, 'initial' refers to the first examination conducted by the doctor. This term signifies the beginning or introductory stage of the examination process. The other choices are incorrect because: A: Complete - 'Initial' does not imply completion but rather the starting point. C: Incomplete - 'Initial' does not suggest incompleteness but rather the first step. D: Discharge - 'Initial' does not relate to discharge but rather the first action taken in the examination.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: hungry. "Ravenous" means extremely hungry, to the point of being voracious. This term specifically refers to an intense feeling of hunger, not to generosity (A), outspokenness (B), or friendliness (C). Therefore, D is the correct answer as it directly aligns with the definition of "ravenous."
