Vocabulary for HESI A2 Questions
Question 1 of 5
If the sound of the bells could be heard in the entire community, then they could be heard __________.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The word 'throughout' means in every part of a place or thing. In this context, if the sound of the bells could be heard in the entire community, then it implies that the sound could be heard throughout the community, making 'Throughout' the most appropriate answer. Choice A 'Thorough' means complete or absolute, which does not fit the context of the sentence. Choice B 'Thought' is a past tense form of the verb 'think,' which is grammatically incorrect in this sentence. Choice C 'Through' is a preposition and does not convey the intended meaning of being heard in every part of the community.
Question 2 of 5
The doctor said he wanted to try other things before attempting an __________ procedure.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The term 'invasive' refers to a procedure that involves entering the body, usually with a medical instrument or device. In the context provided, the doctor wants to try other non-invasive or less invasive options before resorting to an invasive procedure. 'Experimental' means untested or not yet proven to be effective, which aligns with the idea of exploring alternative methods before considering a more invasive approach. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not relate to the context of trying alternative procedures that are different from invasive ones.

Question 5 of 5
If they _____ that the weather was going to be so bad, they wouldn't have gone to the beach.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: had known.' In this conditional sentence, the past perfect tense is required to indicate that knowing about the weather should have happened before going to the beach. 'Knew' (choice A and C) is in the simple past tense, which doesn't convey the sequence of events accurately. 'Could have known' (choice D) is incorrect as it implies a possibility of knowing in the past, but it doesn't fit the context of the sentence where the emphasis is on prior knowledge before going to the beach.
