HESI A2 Practice Test

Category - English

Choose the answer which best rewords the italicized portion. If you think the original wording is best, choose option A.

"They believe labeling will drive food costs and will confuse consumers."

  1. drive
  2. hamper
  3. increase
  4. enforce
Explanation

Answer: D - The best choice is “increase”

“Drive” can mean to direct in a particular direction. One of the meanings of “hamper” is to “hold back,” which is inappropriate based on the context of the passage. “Enforce” implies that the law will apply to food cost. “Increase” fits best within the sentence because it means to “expand or make larger.”
