Vocabulary HESI A2 Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
When you add sugar to it, your cup of coffee becomes not only sweet but also _____.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When sugar is added to coffee, it not only becomes sweet but also 'fattening' due to the extra calories added. The term 'fattening' specifically refers to the potential weight gain associated with consuming sugary drinks. Choices B, C, and D do not accurately describe the impact of adding sugar to coffee. 'Healthy' is incorrect because adding sugar typically does not make a beverage healthier. 'Rich' and 'flavorful' may suggest taste qualities but do not address the caloric impact of sugar.
Question 2 of 5
The car that he had seen at the Ford dealer was the one that he finally decided to _____.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'buy' because it is the appropriate verb for purchasing a car. In this context, the person saw a car at the Ford dealer and decided to buy it, indicating ownership. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because 'rent,' 'lease,' and 'sell' do not fit the context of deciding to acquire a car for ownership. Renting and leasing involve temporary possession, while selling involves transferring ownership to another party.
Question 3 of 5
It's true that children depend on their parents for food, clothing, and ______.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Children depend on their parents for providing basic needs like food, clothing, and shelter. 'Shelter' refers to the physical protection and housing that parents are responsible for providing to their children. While security, guidance, and affection are also important aspects of parenting, in the context of the question, the most essential need after food and clothing is shelter.
Question 4 of 5
What sentence should replace the following incorrect sentence: 'This door to remain unlocked when occupied.'
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'This door will remain unlocked when the office is occupied.' This choice provides a clear and grammatically correct revision of the original sentence. Choice B is incorrect due to the missing 'will' before 'remain' and 'the' before 'office.' Choice C is incorrect as it does not include 'the office,' making it less specific. Choice D is incorrect as it uses 'while' instead of 'when,' changing the intended meaning.
Question 5 of 5
What does it mean when an apartment is advertised as being furnished?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Choice A, 'It is equipped with articles of furniture,' correctly defines a furnished apartment. When an apartment is advertised as furnished, it means that it comes with essential furniture such as beds, tables, chairs, and other necessary items. Choice B is incorrect because being furnished does not necessarily relate to the decor level of the apartment. Choice C is incorrect as utilities like water and electricity are not typically included in the term 'furnished.' Choice D is also incorrect because being furnished does not imply that the apartment is fully renovated, which refers to structural improvements rather than furniture.
