HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is "D: Having." In this sentence, the verb form needs to be in the present participle form to show an ongoing action. "Having" is the present participle of the verb "have," which is used to indicate an action in progress. The other choices, A: Going, B: Go, and C: Have, do not fit the context of the sentence as they do not convey the continuous nature of the action required in this sentence. "Going" is a gerund, "Go" is the base form, and "Have" is the infinitive form, none of which are suitable for expressing ongoing action in this context.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Unseemly. 'Untoward' in this context means inappropriate or improper, which aligns with the negative impact the person's actions had on the nurse. It suggests behavior that is unfavorable or not socially acceptable. A: Violent is incorrect as 'untoward' does not imply physical aggression. B: Casual is incorrect as 'untoward' conveys a sense of seriousness or impropriety, not nonchalant behavior. D: Capricious is incorrect as 'untoward' does not indicate erratic or impulsive behavior, but rather behavior that is unsuitable or inappropriate.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Complication. A complication is an undesired problem that arises as a result of another event. It is something that adds difficulty or complexity to a situation. In contrast, B: Complement means something that completes or goes well with something else. C: Procedures refer to a series of steps or actions to achieve a specific goal, not necessarily an undesired problem. D: Implemented means put into effect, which is not directly related to an undesired problem resulting from another event.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: "Were raised." In this context, the phrase should be in the passive voice to indicate that the glasses were lifted by the guests. The verb "raised" is the correct past participle form of "raise" when used in the passive voice. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they either use the incorrect past participle form of the verb ("risen" in A and B) or use an intransitive verb that does not convey the intended meaning ("arose" in D, which means to come into existence).

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: A. In the sentence, "A dog barked loudly," the article "A" is grammatically correct as it precedes the singular noun "dog." The other choices do not need correction as they are grammatically sound in the sentence. "About it" is a prepositional phrase, "With" is a preposition, and "Made" is the past tense verb. Therefore, the only word that needs correction for proper grammar is choice B, "A."
