HESI A2 Version 3 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
After throwing their sleeping bags into the backseat of their car, they...................more than 400 miles to reach their destination.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In this sentence, the correct form is 'drove' as it is the simple past tense of the verb 'drive.' The action of driving more than 400 miles occurred after they threw their sleeping bags into the backseat. 'Driving' (choice A) is in the present participle form and does not fit the context. 'Having driven' (choice B) is in the present perfect tense, which is not suitable based on the sequence of events. 'Had driven' (choice D) is incorrect due to the incorrect use of 'had' with the past tense form of the verb. Therefore, the correct answer is 'C: Drove.'
Question 2 of 5
Arrange the following four words in alphabetical order:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To arrange words in alphabetical order, you need to consider the sequence of the first letters of each word. In this case, 'A' precedes 'E,' 'I,' and 'U.' Therefore, the correct alphabetical order is 'Assemble, assembled, assembling, assembly,' making choice A the correct answer.
Question 3 of 5
What is the correct part of the sentence that needs to be corrected? He went form being skinny to a very strong man.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct phrase in this sentence is 'He went from,' not 'He went form.' The sentence structure is comparing his past state of being skinny to his current state of being a very strong man. 'From' is used to indicate the starting point of the change. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Went form.'
Question 4 of 5
The doctor made an error with the medication, so the doctor.............. notes about it in the patient's file.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. In the sentence, the doctor 'made' notes about the error in the patient's file. 'Made' is the appropriate verb to indicate that the doctor created or wrote down the notes. Choices A, B, and C do not fit grammatically or contextually in the given sentence. It is essential to choose the correct verb that aligns with the action performed, and in this case, 'made' is the most suitable option.
Question 5 of 5
What is the CORRECT CONTRACTION for 'will not'?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct contraction for 'will not' is 'won't.' The apostrophe replaces the missing letters 'il' in 'will' and 'no' in 'not,' forming the contraction 'won't.' Contractions are commonly used in informal writing and speech to make language more concise and natural. 'Willn't' and 'wouldn't' are contractions for 'will not' and 'would not,' respectively, but 'won't' is the correct contraction for 'will not.'
