Quizlet Vocabulary HESI A2

1. It seems like the sun _____ on Saturday.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'never shone' as the sentence is discussing a past event (Saturday). 'Never shone' is the correct past tense form to describe the sun not shining on a specific day in the past. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not provide the appropriate past tense form needed in this context. 'Never shines' is present tense, 'rarely shines' implies occasional shining, and 'sometimes shines' suggests occasional shining as well, none of which accurately convey the past event of the sun not shining on Saturday.

2. Which of the following sentences is INCOMPLETE?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'While the band played.' This is an incomplete sentence as it lacks a main clause. The other choices (A, C, D) are complete sentences with a subject and a predicate, conveying a complete thought.

3. A truculent patient is ___________.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A truculent patient is someone who is aggressively defiant or hostile, often engaging in argumentative or combative behavior. This term is used to describe someone who is belligerent or confrontational, rather than exhausted, irresponsible, or supportive.

4. What does it mean if something is distended?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When something is described as distended, it means that it is swollen or expanded, not shrunken, narrow, or flattened. In a medical context, distention often refers to an abnormal swelling or enlargement of an organ or structure. 'Shrunken' is incorrect as it means reduced in size, 'narrow' is incorrect as it means not wide, and 'flattened' is incorrect as it means pressed or squeezed flat.

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 this context, 'There' is incorrect as it should be replaced with 'their' to show possession, referring to the uniforms belonging to the team. 'Their' (choice A) is used correctly to indicate possession. 'Going' (choice B) and 'They're' (choice C) are also used correctly in the sentence.
