HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet Questions

Question 1 of 5

What is the correct subjunctive verb to complete the sentence? 'If I ___ you, I'd leave now.'

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.

Question 2 of 5

Select the word that means 'about to happen.'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, impending. "Impending" means about to happen or looming. The prefix "im-" means "into" or "towards," and "pend" means "to hang." Therefore, impending suggests something is hanging over us and about to happen soon. A: Depending means relying on or influenced by something. B: Offending means causing displeasure or annoyance. C: Suspending means temporarily stopping or delaying.

Question 3 of 5

Select the word that means 'on both sides.'

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: bilateral. "Bi" means two or both, and "lateral" refers to sides. Therefore, bilateral means on both sides. Choice B, insufficient, means not enough. Choice C, bicuspid, refers to a type of tooth with two points. Choice D, congruent, means in agreement or having the same size and shape.

Question 4 of 5

Which phrase is NOT used correctly in the sentence?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Do to. This phrase is incorrect because the correct phrase is "due to," which means caused by or resulting from. "Do to" is not a grammatically correct phrase. The other choices B, C, and D are used correctly in the sentence. Choice B, "Stay was," is a complete phrase indicating a past action. Choice C, "Client's," is the possessive form of the noun "client." Choice D, "Superinfection," is a medical term describing an additional infection on top of an existing one. Therefore, the only incorrect phrase in the sentence is A, "Do to."

Question 5 of 5

Select the word that means 'a violent seizure.'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: paroxysm. A paroxysm is defined as a sudden, violent outburst or spasm, making it synonymous with 'a violent seizure.' 'Revelation' means a surprising and previously unknown fact, 'nutrient' refers to a substance that provides nourishment, and 'contraption' is a mechanical device or gadget. These choices are not related to the concept of a violent seizure, making them incorrect in this context.
