HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Ain't. "Ain't" is a colloquial and informal term that is considered incorrect in formal writing. In this context, a more appropriate word would be "isn't." The word "during" is correctly used to indicate a specific time period. "Sure" is used correctly as an adverb to express certainty. "Playoff" is also used correctly to refer to a sports competition. Overall, "ain't" is the only word that is not used correctly in standard English.

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.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: form. In the context of the sentence, the word "form" is not spelled correctly. The sentence describes a nurse looking for a missing patient, so the correct spelling should be "room" instead of "form." The other choices (A: patient, C: nurse, D: missing) are spelled correctly and are relevant to the context of the sentence. Therefore, the word "form" is the only one that is misspelled in this context.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct order is: Assemble, assembly, assembled, assembling. First, we arrange "Assemble" before "Assembly" as it comes before nouns alphabetically. Then, we place "assembled" before "assembling" as it is the past tense verb. Lastly, "assembling" goes after "assembled" because it is the present participle form. Choice A is incorrect as it places "assembling" before "assembled." Choice B is incorrect as it places "assembly" before "assembling." Choice D is incorrect as it places "assembled" before "assembly."

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: supplement. A supplement is something added to resolve a deficiency or complete something. In this context, a supplement fills a gap or enhances something lacking. Choice B, complement, refers to something that completes or goes well with something else, but it doesn't necessarily address a deficiency. Choice C, detriment, means something that causes harm or damage, which is the opposite of what is needed in this case. Choice D, acumen, refers to keen insight or skill, and it is unrelated to the concept of adding something to resolve a deficiency.
