HESI A2 Version 3 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which answer correctly completes the sentence? As we celebrated the start of the evening festivities, our glasses.......................and a toast was made by our host.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct phrase is 'our glasses were raised,' indicating that the glasses were lifted or elevated in a celebratory manner. 'Were risen' is incorrect because 'risen' is the past participle of 'rise,' not 'raise.' 'Were rose' is grammatically incorrect as 'rose' is the past tense of 'rise,' not 'raise.' 'Arose' is also incorrect as it means to originate or occur, which does not fit the context of raising glasses in a toast.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following sentences is grammatically incorrect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this question, we are looking for the sentence that is grammatically incorrect. The correct answer is B, 'He performed good on the test.' The word 'good' is an adjective, but in this context, we need an adverb to describe how he performed. The correct form is 'well,' which is an adverb describing the verb 'performed.' Therefore, the sentence should be 'He performed well on the test.' Choices A, C, and D are all grammatically correct sentences.
Question 3 of 5
Which word in the sentence is NOT grammatically correct? 'There are 3 things to remember for the test: Vocabulary, Grammar, and Spelling.'
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C - There.' The original sentence mistakenly uses 'Their' instead of 'There.' 'Their' is a possessive pronoun, while 'There' is used to indicate a place or the existence of something. The corrected sentence should read, 'There are 3 things to remember for the test: Vocabulary, Grammar, and Spelling.'
Question 4 of 5
Which sentence is NOT GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Choice B is not grammatically correct. The correct conjunction to use in this context is 'then' to indicate the sequence of actions. 'Than' is used for making comparisons between things. The sentence should read: 'The nurse decided to bathe the client, then trim his nails.' Choices A, C, and D are all grammatically correct sentences.
Question 5 of 5
Everyone thought that was the ........................ test of the whole course.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this sentence, the superlative form 'easiest' should be used to compare the test to all other tests in the course. 'Most easiest' is incorrect because 'easiest' already implies the highest degree of ease. 'Easy' is incorrect as it is not a comparative form. 'Most easy' is also incorrect as it does not convey the comparison needed in the context. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Easiest.'
