HESI A2 Version 4 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which phrase is incorrect in the sentence: After soon he arrived in the U.S.A, he met the woman who was to become his wife.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct phrase should be 'soon after' to indicate the sequence of events correctly. The sentence should read, 'Soon after he arrived in the U.S.A, he met the woman who was to become his wife.' This structure is grammatically correct and conveys the intended meaning clearly by showing the timing relationship between his arrival and meeting his future wife.
Question 2 of 5
The student ______ for the final exam.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Was studying.' When referring to the period before the final exam, the past continuous tense 'was studying' is appropriate to indicate ongoing or continuous action in the past. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect due to grammatical errors or incorrect usage of tenses.
Question 3 of 5
Children generally --------------- with others of the same size and age.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Play.' In this sentence, 'children' is the subject, which is a plural noun. Therefore, the verb should also be in the plural form, which is 'play.' The correct sentence would be 'Children generally play with others of the same size and age.' The verb 'play' agrees with the plural subject 'children,' making it the appropriate choice in this context.
Question 4 of 5
The student sang well, but she danced ____.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this sentence, 'danced' is a verb and requires an adverb to describe how the action was performed. The correct adverb form to modify the verb 'danced' is 'badly,' indicating the manner in which she danced. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Badly.'
Question 5 of 5
Economics--------------my least favorite subject at school.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Is.' In this sentence, 'Economics' is a singular subject, so the correct verb to use is 'is.' The sentence should read: 'Economics is my least favorite subject at school.' When identifying the subject-verb agreement, it's essential to match singular subjects with singular verbs and plural subjects with plural verbs. In this case, 'Economics' is treated as a singular subject, hence the use of 'is' as the correct verb form.
