HESI A2 Version 3 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Arrange the following four words in alphabetical order.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct alphabetical order is 'Assemble, assembled, assembling, assembly.' When alphabetizing words, you compare the first letters of each word. In this case, 'Assemble' comes first, followed by 'assembled,' 'assembling,' and 'assembly.' Therefore, option A is the correct arrangement.
Question 2 of 5
Most children must learn for ......................... the importance of good manners.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Themselves.' In this sentence, 'children' is a plural noun, so the pronoun that should follow it must also be plural. 'Themselves' is the correct reflexive pronoun used to refer back to the plural noun 'children.' It is essential to use the reflexive pronoun 'themselves' to emphasize that each child needs to learn about the importance of good manners.
Question 3 of 5
Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence: He thought it was ___ than 3 miles to the hospital.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Less'. In the sentence, the comparison is made with an uncountable noun (miles), so 'less' is the appropriate term to use. 'Further' indicates a greater distance, 'Fewer' is reserved for countable items, and 'Bigger' describes size, none of which correctly fit the context of the sentence.
Question 4 of 5
What is the correct pronoun to complete the sentence? My mother and ___ went shopping for clothes yesterday.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In this sentence, 'I' is the correct pronoun to use. When a subject pronoun is needed, the correct choice is 'I' when it follows a subject or linking verb. In this case, 'went' is the verb, making 'I' the appropriate pronoun. Therefore, the correct completion of the sentence is 'My mother and I went shopping for clothes yesterday.'
Question 5 of 5
What is the correct past tense form of the verb to use in the sentence 'I.................the package on the table.'?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Laid.' The verb 'lay' is in the present tense, while 'laid' is the past tense form. In the given sentence, the action of placing the package on the table has already occurred, so 'laid' is the correct past tense form to use. Therefore, the sentence should read 'I laid the package on the table.'
