HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

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: D

Rationale: The correct reflexive pronoun in this sentence is 'Oneself'. In this case, 'Oneself' is used to refer back to 'a person', making the sentence grammatically correct. 'Themselves' is incorrect because it is plural, 'Itself' does not match the singular subject, and 'Yourself' is incorrect as it refers to the second person. Therefore, 'Oneself' is the most suitable reflexive pronoun in this context.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Break. A fracture refers to a break in a bone or a hard structure. This term accurately describes the physical separation or discontinuity of the material. Choice B, Brake, refers to stopping or slowing down, not relevant to the term fracture. Choice C, Cut, involves slicing through something, not necessarily causing a break. Choice D, Cure, means to heal or remedy a condition, which is unrelated to the concept of fracture. Therefore, A is the most fitting description for the term fracture.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, concerned with the whole. In the context of the sentence, 'holistic' refers to a comprehensive approach that considers all aspects of a person's well-being. Dr. Grant's treatment focused on addressing Mary's overall health, not just her specific symptoms. Choice A, insensitive, and B, ignorant, are incorrect because holistic treatment is about being sensitive and knowledgeable about the patient's needs. Choice C, specialized, is incorrect as it implies a narrow focus, whereas holistic means considering the entirety of the individual.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct contraction for "They are" is B: They're. The contraction "They're" combines the pronoun "They" and the verb "are" into one word. "Their" (A) is a possessive pronoun, not a contraction. "The're" (C) is not a valid contraction in English. Option D, "No contraction used," is incorrect as there is a contraction for "They are," which is "They're."
