HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Head. In this sentence, the preposition "on" is used to indicate the location where the person was hit. When referring to body parts, we typically use the word directly without any prepositions. Therefore, the phrase "on head" is incorrect as it adds an unnecessary preposition. Choices C and D are also incorrect because the article "a" or "the" is not needed before the body part in this context. So, the most concise and grammatically correct phrase is "hit on head."

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the subject "Sherri and her cousin" is plural, requiring the plural verb "were." "Was" would be incorrect for a plural subject. In choices A, B, and C, the verbs "were" and "is" are incorrectly paired with singular subjects like "a pitchfork," "a pig, sheep, and horse," and "here," respectively. Therefore, they are incorrect.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Ain't. "Ain't" is a colloquial and informal term that is considered incorrect in formal writing. In this context, a more appropriate word would be "isn't." The word "during" is correctly used to indicate a specific time period. "Sure" is used correctly as an adverb to express certainty. "Playoff" is also used correctly to refer to a sports competition. Overall, "ain't" is the only word that is not used correctly in standard English.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct order is: Assemble, assembly, assembled, assembling. First, we arrange "Assemble" before "Assembly" as it comes before nouns alphabetically. Then, we place "assembled" before "assembling" as it is the past tense verb. Lastly, "assembling" goes after "assembled" because it is the present participle form. Choice A is incorrect as it places "assembling" before "assembled." Choice B is incorrect as it places "assembly" before "assembling." Choice D is incorrect as it places "assembled" before "assembly."

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Produced outside the body. In the sentence, 'exogenous factors' refer to external elements that come from outside the body and can impact the patient's well-being. This term is commonly used in medicine and biology to differentiate between factors originating externally versus internally. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the context of the sentence. Option B refers to factors produced within the body, option C specifies the kidneys which is not relevant in this context, and option D refers to hereditary factors which are inherited and not necessarily external.
