Quizlet Vocabulary HESI A2

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: When a body part has atrophied, it means it has wasted away or shrunk due to lack of use or nourishment. The correct answer is "B: Withered" because atrophy results in a decrease in size and strength of the affected body part. Choice A is incorrect because atrophy does not result in enlargement. Choice C is incorrect because atrophy causes a decrease, not an increase, in size. Choice D is incorrect because atrophy refers to wasting away, not damage.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Come to an end. 'Cease' means to stop or bring something to an end. It signifies the termination of an action or process. The other choices are incorrect because: A: Start - the opposite of 'cease' C: Pause - implies a temporary stop, not a complete end D: Skip - means to omit or bypass, not to end something.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Stringent. Strict and stringent are synonyms that both imply a high level of discipline or adherence to rules. Stringent specifically conveys a sense of strictness in a precise, rigorous manner. The other choices (B: Daily, C: Weekly, D: Nominal) are incorrect because they do not relate to the concept of strictness or severity. Daily and weekly refer to frequency, while nominal means minimal or insignificant, which is the opposite of strict.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. "Did" is used incorrectly because the past perfect tense should be used to show that the action (doing the work) was completed before another past action (he asked). The correct form would be "I had done the work before he asked me to." Choices B, C, and D are correct as they are all used appropriately in the sentence.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Obvious or easily observed. 'Overt' means something that is done openly and clearly visible. This choice is correct because it directly reflects the definition of the word. Choice A (Hidden) is incorrect as it is the opposite of 'overt'. Choice C (Barely noticeable) is incorrect as 'overt' implies something that is clearly visible. Choice D (Misleading) is incorrect as it does not capture the essence of 'overt', which is about being open and easily observed.
