HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

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.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: ingest. Ingest means to take into the body, usually by swallowing. "Congest" means to block or fill up, not related to intake. "Collect" means to gather or accumulate, not specifically related to taking into the body. "Suppress" means to restrain or prevent, not related to intake. Therefore, B is the correct answer as it directly relates to the action of taking something into the body.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Occurrence. In this context, 'incidence' refers to the frequency or rate at which smoking is happening. It is not referring to prestige, glamour, or influence. 'Prestige' and 'glamour' are about status and attractiveness, which are not relevant in the context of smoking rates. 'Influence' refers to the impact or sway of something, which does not directly relate to the frequency or rate of smoking. Therefore, choice B is the correct answer.

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: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Whole. In the context of the sentence, 'intact' means complete or undamaged. The bandage should remain whole to effectively protect the wound. Choice A (Dry) does not capture the full meaning of 'intact'. Choice C (Uncovered) is the opposite of intact. Choice D (Secure) refers more to the stability of the bandage rather than its completeness.
