HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet Questions

Question 1 of 5

Which sentence is NOT GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because the sentence contains a sequence error. The action of trimming nails should logically come before bathing. The correct sequence should be "The nurse decided to trim his nails, then bathe the client." Choices A, C, and D are grammatically correct as they have proper subject-verb agreement, clear sentence structure, and logical sequencing of events.

Question 2 of 5

Select the meaning of the word 'overt' in the sentence: 'Despite the absence of overt signs, Dr. Harris suspected Alicia might be suffering from the flu.'

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: apparent. In the sentence, 'overt' is used to describe signs that are not concealed but rather visible or obvious. Dr. Harris suspected Alicia might have the flu despite the absence of visible or obvious signs. 'Concealed' (A) means hidden, 'expert' (C) refers to a person with advanced knowledge, and 'delectable' (D) means delicious. These choices do not fit the context of the sentence.

Question 3 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 4 of 5

Which word is NOT CORRECT? The student did not recognize which backpack was hers.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Hers. In the sentence, "hers" is used as a possessive pronoun, indicating ownership. However, in this context, it should be "her" instead of "hers" since "her" is the possessive form of the pronoun. Therefore, "hers" is grammatically incorrect in this sentence. The other choices, A, B, and D, are all correct in the sentence and do not contain any grammatical errors.

Question 5 of 5

Which word correctly completes the sentence? 'The men and women of the graduating class ___ their caps in the air.'

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Threw. In this sentence, the verb needs to be in the past tense to match the action of tossing caps in the air. 'Threw' is the past tense form of 'throw,' which correctly conveys the action that has already taken place. Rationale: - A: Thorough means complete or detailed, which doesn't fit the context of the sentence. - B: Through is a preposition or adverb indicating movement from one side to the other, not a verb. - D: Throwing is the present participle form of 'throw,' which doesn't match the past tense context of the sentence.
