HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. "Capitol" is used incorrectly in the sentence. The word should be "capital" which refers to uppercase letters. "Capitol" refers to a building where a legislative body meets. The other choices are used correctly: A: "Must always" is used correctly to emphasize the necessity of starting a sentence with a capital letter. B: "Simple" is used correctly as an adjective to describe the rule as straightforward. C: "Forget" is used correctly in the context of people not remembering the rule.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Library. The sentence should read, "During the time he lived in New York, he worked as a writer, an editor, and a librarian." The word "library" is incorrect as it should be "librarian" to refer to a person who works in a library. A, C, and D are grammatically correct as "an" is used before a vowel sound, "as" is a conjunction showing the relationship between his time in New York and his work, and "during" is a preposition indicating a period of time.

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: 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: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Outcome statement. In the given sentence, 'prognosis' refers to the doctor's prediction or forecast about the likely outcome of the patient's condition. This is supported by the context of the sentence where the patient feels optimistic based on the doctor's prognosis. A) Instructions, B) Estimate, and C) Behavior do not accurately capture the meaning of 'prognosis' in this context. Instructions refer to directions or guidance, estimate is a rough calculation, and behavior pertains to actions or conduct, none of which align with the meaning of 'prognosis' in this specific sentence.
