HESI A2 Practice Test

Answer: Choice (A) is correct.

An apparition is a ghostly-appearing phantom that is translucent, meaning that light can pass through it, but objects on the other side of it are not clearly visible. Translucent describes an innate quality of an apparition. Therefore, look for a pair that has a similar relationship. Clothing that is dingy has been soiled, so eliminate that choice. A child that is emaciated is thin and wasting away, so eliminate that choice. An idea that is grandiose is high-flying and extravagant. That does not have the same relationship as the pair in choice (A). A tumbler is a drinking glass. Because glass can be seen through, it has the quality of being transparent. Therefore, choice (A) is the most appropriate answer.
