Quizlet Vocabulary HESI A2 Questions
Question 1 of 5
What action describes what a cat, who is clearly scared of a Rottweiler, will do when the dog enters the room?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When a cat cowers, it means the cat is crouching down or trying to make itself look smaller in fear or apprehension of something, in this case, the Rottweiler. Hence, the word 'cower' accurately describes what the cat would do when faced with a Rottweiler entering the room. The other choices are incorrect: 'Engender' means to cause or give rise to, 'Enhance' means to improve or increase the quality or value of something, and 'Replicate' means to duplicate or reproduce something.
Question 2 of 5
Which sentence correctly uses a semicolon?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The sentence 'She likes apples; oranges are her favorite.' correctly uses a semicolon to connect two related independent clauses. The semicolon is used to separate two closely related ideas in a way that is stronger than a comma but not as final as a period.
Choice A is incorrect because the conjunction 'but' is missing before 'I can't go out tonight.'
Choice C is incorrect as the conjunction 'and' after the semicolon is unnecessary and disrupts the flow of the sentence.
Choice D is incorrect because the semicolon is incorrectly placed before 'oranges are better,' where a comma or period would be more appropriate.

Question 5 of 5
What does Depth mean?
Correct Answer: B

Choice
A), as thickness is the measure of how thick or thin an object is, not necessarily related to depth. Additionally, it is not the length of a surface (
Choice
C) because length typically refers to the longest dimension of an object rather than its depth. Finally, it is not the area between two points (
Choice
