HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which word is NOT USED CORRECTLY? It sure isn't going to rain during the next playoff.
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.
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
Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of this sentence? 'The nurse went from room to room looking for the missing patient.'
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.
Question 4 of 5
Place the four words in alphabetical order.
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."
Question 5 of 5
Select the word that means 'something added to resolve a deficiency or obtain completion.'
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.
