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: 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: 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. "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: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Drove. In this sentence, the action of driving more than 400 miles to reach their destination is in the past tense. "Drove" is the simple past tense form of the verb "drive," which correctly indicates a completed action in the past. A: "Driving" is the present participle form, which does not match the past tense context of the sentence. B: "Having driven" is the present perfect tense, which does not match the simple past tense required in the sentence. D: "Had drove" is grammatically incorrect as it uses "had" with the past participle "drove," which is not a correct verb form.
