HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

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."

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.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Able to speak more than one language. Being bilingual means having the ability to communicate in two languages fluently. This is an advantage for a nurse as it enables them to effectively interact with patients who speak different languages. Choice B (Able to use either hand), Choice C (Not squeamish about blood), and Choice D (Can remember everything) are all unrelated to the term 'bilingual' in the context of the sentence provided.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, impending. "Impending" means about to happen or looming. The prefix "im-" means "into" or "towards," and "pend" means "to hang." Therefore, impending suggests something is hanging over us and about to happen soon. A: Depending means relying on or influenced by something. B: Offending means causing displeasure or annoyance. C: Suspending means temporarily stopping or delaying.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is "B: That" because it is used to introduce a defining relative clause, providing essential information about the people who were there that night. "Whom" is incorrect as it is used for objects, not subjects. "Which" is incorrect because it is used for things, not people. "Whose" is incorrect as it indicates possession, not the relationship between the people and the night. In this context, "that" is the most appropriate relative pronoun to refer to the people.
