HESI A2 Practice Test

Answer: Choice (B) is correct.

A person who is conciliatory is a peace-maker, and tries to appease. A provocative person is one who is confrontational and challenges others. These terms are opposites, so look for the answer choice that contains antonyms. Copious and abundant are synonyms that mean having large amounts. Something that is fortuitous is accidental or unexpected, in a positive way. Something that is tedious is monotonous, meaning tiresome and boring. Choice (B) contains the antonyms. Diminutive means small, and colossal means very large, so choice (B) is correct.
