HESI A2 Practice Test Vocabulary Questions
Question 1 of 5
An apartment is advertised as being furnished. What does the sentence mean?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'It is equipped with articles.' In real estate terms, when an apartment is advertised as 'furnished', it means that the apartment comes equipped with furniture and other necessary items. This choice directly reflects the meaning of a furnished apartment. The other choices are incorrect because being furnished does not imply that the apartment has just been repainted (B), requires the first month's rent to be paid in advance (C), or includes utility bills in the rental cost (D).
Question 2 of 5
Which word means to suggest, to hint, to express indirectly?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: 'Imply' means to suggest or indicate something indirectly. In this context, 'Infer' (choice B) is incorrect as it means to deduce or conclude information based on evidence and reasoning, not to suggest. 'Opinion' (choice C) refers to a personal view or judgment, not the act of suggesting indirectly. 'Latter' (choice D) means the second of two things mentioned.
Question 3 of 5
What does the quoted word 'fundamental' mean in the following sentence?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Basic.' In this context, 'fundamental' means basic or essential, referring to the core or foundational dissimilarity between the two medications. Choice A, 'Appropriate,' is incorrect as it does not reflect the meaning of 'fundamental' in this sentence. Choice B, 'Underlying,' is incorrect because although it is related, it does not capture the primary or essential nature of the difference being discussed. Choice C, 'Dosage,' is unrelated to the meaning of 'fundamental' and does not align with the context of the sentence.
Question 4 of 5
What does the quoted word 'equilibrium' mean in the following sentence?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Sense of balance.' In the sentence provided, 'equilibrium' refers to a state of physical balance or stability. The client lost his balance when he woke up, indicating a loss of stability or equilibrium. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'equilibrium' specifically refers to balance, not the ability to speak, sense of taste, or ability to swallow.
