HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the verb "wore" agrees with the subject "I" in past tense. The other choices have verbs that do not match the subject or are not in the correct tense. A has "saw" which is the past tense of "see" but the subject is "I" not "you." B has "sang" which is the past tense of "sing" but again the subject is "I" not "the national anthem." C has "ran" which is the past tense of "run" but the subject is "I" not "Nibbles the Rabbit."

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is "D: In spite of." This phrase is the most appropriate because it is used to show contrast or contradiction between two ideas, indicating that the person went to the party despite her dislike for the host. "Despite of" (A) is grammatically incorrect; "Even though" (B) is similar in meaning but not as strong as "In spite of"; "Although" (C) is used to introduce a contrast but does not convey the same level of contradiction as "In spite of."

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Laid. In this sentence, 'laid' is the past tense form of the verb 'lay'. The sentence requires a past tense verb to match the context of placing the package on the table. 'Layed' in choice A is incorrect as it is a common misspelling of 'laid'. 'Drop' in choice B is incorrect as it does not fit the context of placing something carefully. 'Lay' in choice D is the present tense form of the verb and does not match the past tense needed in the sentence.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: offensive. The word 'repugnant' means causing a strong feeling of dislike or disgust, which aligns with the definition of offensive. Choice A, destructive, refers to causing harm or damage, which is not the direct meaning of 'repugnant.' Choice B, selective, pertains to choosing carefully based on preferences, not related to 'repugnant.' Choice C, collective, refers to a group or whole, which is unrelated to the negative connotation of 'repugnant.' Therefore, the best-fitting choice is D, offensive, as it captures the essence of the word 'repugnant' accurately.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: annual. In the sentence, 'once a year' indicates the frequency of the family reunion picnic, making 'annual' the most suitable choice. Biennial means once every two years (C), regular is too vague (A), and holiday doesn't specify the frequency of occurrence (D). Therefore, 'annual' best conveys the intended meaning of the sentence.
