HESI A2 Practice Test

Category - Vocab

abysmal : dreadful ::
  1. superb : splendid
  2. outstanding : terrible
  3. obtuse : intelligent
  4. imperceptive : sensitive
Explanation
Answer: Choice (A) is correct.

If something is abysmal, it is dreadful or extremely bad. Abysmal and dreadful are synonyms, so you are looking for a pair of words that are synonyms. In this case, superb and splendid are synonyms. All of the other pairs (outstanding/terrible, obtuse/intelligent, imperceptive/sensitive) are antonyms, so eliminate those.
