Quizlet Vocabulary HESI A2 Questions
Question 1 of 5
Before his death at age 82, comedian Rodney Dangerfield's motto was, 'I don't get _____.'
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: respect.' Rodney Dangerfield was famously known for his catchphrase 'I don't get no respect,' which perfectly aligns with the concept of respect being his motto. The other choices, 'B: sympathy,' 'C: attention,' and 'D: care,' do not accurately capture Dangerfield's well-known persona and catchphrase. Therefore, 'A: respect' is the most suitable answer.
Question 2 of 5
Which sentence is grammatically correct?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The sentence 'Somebody left his or her jacket on the train.' is grammatically correct and respects gender neutrality. 'Somebody' is singular, so the pronoun 'their' in choice A is incorrect. Choice C changes the subject from 'somebody' to 'his,' making it grammatically incorrect. Choice D is grammatically correct, but it is less concise and more awkward than choice B, which smoothly combines 'his' and 'her' for gender-neutral language.
Question 3 of 5
Which phrase should be moved to the end of the sentence? 'The painter decided to use the urn as his subject with flowers on the table.'
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Moving 'with flowers on the table' to the end of the sentence improves the sentence flow and clarity. This placement helps to maintain a logical sequence of events, enhancing the reader's understanding. Choice A, 'as his subject,' is an integral part of the main action and should not be moved. Choice C, 'use the urn as his subject,' disrupts the verb-object relationship and makes the sentence less coherent. Choice D, 'with the urn,' lacks context and does not provide a smooth transition when placed at the end of the sentence.
Question 4 of 5
Which word is used incorrectly? 'I did the work before he asked me to.'
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The word 'did' is correctly used in the sentence to form the past tense of the verb 'do.' In this context, 'did' is the appropriate term. The other words in the sentence, 'work,' 'asked,' and 'before,' are all used correctly and do not represent an incorrect word choice. Therefore, 'did' is the only word that is not used incorrectly in the given sentence.
Question 5 of 5
Which sentence uses the correct form of the verb?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'She has completed the project.' The sentence uses the present perfect tense with 'has completed,' which is the correct form of the verb. Choice A is incorrect due to the subject-verb agreement error ('She' requires 'has' instead of 'have'). Choice C is incorrect as it changes the meaning by using the passive voice 'has been completed' instead of the active voice. Choice D is incorrect as 'complete' should be 'completed' to match the present perfect tense.
