HESI A2 Version 4 Grammar Questions
Question 1 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 2 of 5
What word is incorrectly used in the following sentence? "He ate for pieces of fried chicken at dinner, and no vegetables."
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The corrected sentence is 'He ate four pieces of fried chicken at dinner, and no vegetables.' The original error was the use of 'for' instead of 'four,' which is a numerical term.
Question 3 of 5
Are you taking a cruise to commemorate your wedding anniversary?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct verb to use with the plural subject 'you' is 'Are.' In this sentence, the subject 'you' requires a plural verb form, so 'Are' is the correct choice. 'Is' is singular and would not agree with the plural subject 'you.' 'Was' is past tense and not suitable for discussing a future action like planning a cruise. 'Could' indicates possibility or ability, but it does not fit the structure of the question, which is asking about a planned action for the future.
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
During the storm, the glass in three of the windows -------------------.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct form of the verb to use in this sentence is 'broke.' 'Broke' is the past tense of 'break' and is the appropriate choice to indicate that the glass in three of the windows shattered or cracked during the storm. The verb needs to be in the past tense to match the timeframe of the action happening during the storm, making 'broke' the correct choice.
