HESI A2 Practice Vocabulary

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because "The team of players is winning" has a subject-verb agreement error. In this sentence, "team" is the subject, not "players," so the verb should be "are" instead of "is." The other choices have correct subject-verb agreement: A) "group" is singular, so "is" is correct, C) "list" is singular, so "is" is correct, D) "pile" is singular, so "is" is correct.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because "The team of players is winning" has a subject-verb agreement error. In this sentence, "team" is the subject, not "players," so the verb should be "are" instead of "is." The other choices have correct subject-verb agreement: A) "group" is singular, so "is" is correct, C) "list" is singular, so "is" is correct, D) "pile" is singular, so "is" is correct.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Located outside the body. 'External' refers to something that is situated or occurring outside of the body. This term is commonly used in anatomy to distinguish between internal and external structures. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately define the term 'External' as pertaining to something outside the body. Choice A refers to inside the body, Choice C refers to being exposed internally, and Choice D refers to being near the skin, but not necessarily outside the body.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because it is an incomplete sentence lacking a main subject or verb. "While they were sleeping" is a dependent clause and cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. The other choices (B, C, D) all have complete subject-verb structures, making them independent sentences.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: get. In this sentence, "when" indicates a future time, so the present simple tense is used to express a future action. The verb "get" in the present simple tense is the appropriate form to indicate a future event. The other choices (B: will get, C: return, D: came) are considered incorrect because "will get" uses unnecessary future tense, "return" is not the appropriate verb to indicate a future action, and "came" is in the past tense which does not match the future context of the sentence.
