Vocabulary for HESI A2 Questions
Question 1 of 5
It is required that he _____ payment immediately.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 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.
Question 3 of 5
The man's heart attack scared him badly and he decided to have a regular check-up.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this context, 'badly' is the appropriate adverb to describe the intensity of the fear caused by the heart attack. 'Severely' and 'intensely' do not convey the same meaning in this sentence. 'Profoundly' refers more to depth or seriousness of an emotion, which doesn't fit the context of fear caused by a heart attack.
Question 4 of 5
The salesman recommended that he _____ his receipt for at least a month.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'keep.' In this context, the sentence is in the subjunctive mood, where the base form of the verb should be used after the word 'recommended.' Therefore, 'keep' is the appropriate verb choice. 'Keeps' (choice B) is incorrect as it does not align with the grammatical structure required in this sentence. Choices C and D are also incorrect as they do not match the verb form needed for the subjunctive mood.
Question 5 of 5
The physician started to perform the operation, but the patient was not yet completely _____ anesthesia.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'under' as it is commonly used to describe the state of being affected by anesthesia. The patient is 'under' anesthesia, not 'within,' 'with,' or 'over' it. 'Within' typically refers to being inside something, 'with' indicates being accompanied by something, and 'over' suggests being above or on top of something. Therefore, in the context of the sentence, 'under' is the most appropriate choice.
