HESI A2 Version 2 (Reading Comprehension) Test Bank 2022 Questions 1-4 refer to the following passage.Passage
- - The Respiratory System
- What can we infer from the first paragraph in this passage?
- Human and mammal respiratory systems are the same
- The lungs are an important part of the respiratory system
- The respiratory system varies in different mammals
- Oxygen and carbon dioxide are passive exchanged by the respiratory system
The respiratory system’s function is to allow oxygen exchange through all parts of the body.The anatomy or structure of the exchange system, and the uses of the exchanged gases, varies depending on the organism. In humans and other mammals, for example, the anatomicalfeatures of the respiratory system include airways, lungs, and the respiratory muscles.Molecules of oxygen and carbon dioxide are passively exchanged, by diffusion, between thegaseous external environment and the blood. This exchange process occurs in the alveolar region of the lungs.Other animals, such as insects, have respiratory systems with very simple anatomical features, and in amphibians even the skin plays a vital role in gas exchange. Plants also have respiratory systems but the direction of gas exchange can be opposite to that of animals.The respiratory system can also be divided into physiological, or functional, zones. These include the conducting zone (the region for gas transport from the outside atmosphere to just above the alveoli), the transitional zone, and the respiratory zone (the alveolar region where gasexchange occurs).
B We can infer an important part of the respiratory system are the lungs. From the passage, “Molecules of oxygen and carbon dioxide are passively exchanged, by diffusion, between thegaseous external environment and the blood. This exchange process occurs in the alveolar region of the lungs.” Therefore, one of the primary functions for the respiratory system is the exchange of oxygenand carbon dioxide, and this process occurs in the lungs. We can therefore infer that the lungsare an important part of the respiratory system.
- What is the process by which molecules of oxygen and carbon dioxide are passively
- Transfusion
- Affusion
- Diffusion
- Respiratory confusion
exchanged?
C The process by which molecules of oxygen and carbon dioxide are passively exchanged isdiffusion. This 1 / 3
is a definition type question. Scan the passage for references to “oxygen,” “carbondioxide,” or “exchanged.”
- What organ plays an important role in gas exchange in amphibians?
- The skin
- The lungs
- The gills
- The mouth
A The organ that plays an important role in gas exchange in amphibians is the skin.Scan the passage for references to “amphibians,” and find the answer.
- What are the three physiological zones of the respiratory system?
- Conducting, transitional, respiratory zones
- Redacting, transitional, circulatory zones
- Conducting, circulatory, inhibiting zones
- Transitional, inhibiting, conducting zones
A The three physiological zones of the respiratory system are Conducting, transitional, respiratoryzones.
Questions 5-8 refer to the following passage.ABC Electric Warranty ABC Electric Company warrants that its products are free from defects in material and workmanship.Subject to the conditions and limitations set forth below, ABC Electric will, at itsoption, either repair or replace any part of its products that prove defective due to improperworkmanship or materials.This limited warranty does not cover any damage to the product from improper installation, accident, abuse, misuse, natural disaster, insufficient or excessive electrical supply, abnormalmechanical or environmental conditions, or any unauthorized disassembly, repair, or modification.This limited warranty also does not apply to any product on which the original identification information has been altered, or removed, has not been handled or packaged correctly, or hasbeen sold as second- hand.This limited warranty covers only repair, replacement, refund or credit for defective ABCElectric products, as provided above.
- I tried to repair my ABC Electric blender, but could not, so can I get it repaired underthis
- Yes, the warranty still covers the blender 2 / 3
warranty?
- No, the warranty does not cover the blender
- Uncertain. ABC Electric may or may not cover repairs under this warranty
- My ABC Electric fan is not working. Will ABC Electric provide a new one or repair thisone?
- ABC Electric will repair my fan
- ABC Electric will replace my fan
- ABC Electric could either replace or repair my fan can request either a replacement or arepair.
B This warranty does not cover a product that you have tried to fix yourself. From paragraph two, “This limited warranty does not cover … any unauthorized disassembly, repair, or modification.
C ABC Electric could either replace or repair the fan, provided the other conditions are met. ABCElectric has the option to repair or replace.
- My stove was damaged in a flood. Does this warranty cover my stove?
- Yes, it is covered.
- No, it is not covered.
- It may or may not be covered.
- ABC Electric will decide if it is covered
B The warranty does not cover a stove damaged in a flood. From the passage, “This limited warranty does not cover any damage to the product from improper installation, accident, abuse, misuse, natural disaster, insufficient or excessive electrical supply, abnormal mechanicalor environmental conditions.” A flood is an “abnormal environmental condition,” and a natural disaster, so it is not covered.
- Which of the following is an example of improper workmanship?
- Missing parts
- Defective parts
- Scratches on the front
- None of the above
A A missing part is an example of defective workmanship. This is an error made in themanufacturing process. A defective part is not considered workmanship.
Questions 9 – 12 refer to the following passage.Passage 3 – Mythology The main characters in myths are usually gods or supernatural heroes. As sacred stories, rulers and priests have traditionally endorsed their myths and as a result, myths have a closelink with religion and
