HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet Questions

Question 1 of 5

Which word is NOT USED CORRECTLY in the sentence? They're going to the mall to pick up there uniforms for their coach.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: There. In the sentence, "They're going to the mall to pick up their uniforms for their coach," the word "there" is used incorrectly. "There" indicates a location, while in this context, it should be "their" to show possession. "Their" is the correct possessive form for the word "uniforms." "They're" is a contraction for "they are" and is used correctly in the sentence. "Going" is also used correctly as the verb describing the action. Thus, "there" is the only word that is not used correctly in the sentence.

Question 2 of 5

Select the meaning of the word 'overt' in the sentence: 'Despite the absence of overt signs, Dr. Harris suspected Alicia might be suffering from the flu.'

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: apparent. In the sentence, 'overt' is used to describe signs that are not concealed but rather visible or obvious. Dr. Harris suspected Alicia might have the flu despite the absence of visible or obvious signs. 'Concealed' (A) means hidden, 'expert' (C) refers to a person with advanced knowledge, and 'delectable' (D) means delicious. These choices do not fit the context of the sentence.

Question 3 of 5

What is the meaning of the word 'hygiene' in the sentence: 'It is not wise to skimp on personal hygiene'?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Measures contributing to cleanliness. Hygiene refers to practices that promote cleanliness and health. In the context of the sentence, skimping on personal hygiene would mean neglecting activities such as washing, grooming, and sanitation. Choice B, financial resources, and Choice C, insurance, are unrelated to the meaning of hygiene in this context. Choice D, friendliness, is also irrelevant as it does not relate to cleanliness or health.

Question 4 of 5

Which word correctly completes the sentence? "Be careful not to ___ the bottle while you carry it to the table."

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Break. In this sentence, the word should be a verb that means "to cause to separate into pieces." "Break" fits this context, as it conveys the action of accidentally causing the bottle to split into pieces. The other choices, A: Brak, C: Brick, and D: Brake, do not make sense in the sentence and do not convey the intended meaning. "Brak" is a misspelling, "Brick" is a noun that does not make sense in this context, and "Brake" is a verb that means to stop or slow down, which is not appropriate here. Therefore, "Break" is the only word that fits the sentence correctly.

Question 5 of 5

Which reflexive pronoun correctly completes the sentence? 'When a person finds ___ in a stressful situation, it helps to breathe deeply.'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct reflexive pronoun in this sentence is 'Oneself'. In this case, 'Oneself' is used to refer back to 'a person', making the sentence grammatically correct. 'Themselves' is incorrect because it is plural, 'Itself' does not match the singular subject, and 'Yourself' is incorrect as it refers to the second person. Therefore, 'Oneself' is the most suitable reflexive pronoun in this context.
