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 a plural subject, so the verb should also be plural. 'Play' is the correct plural form to match the subject 'Children.' Therefore, the sentence should read as: 'Children generally play with others of the same size and age.' This choice maintains subject-verb agreement, ensuring that the sentence is grammatically correct.
Question 2 of 5
What task does the mailperson perform?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Envelopes.' The question asks about the job performed by the mailperson, which is delivering envelopes to every mailbox on the block. Using the plural form 'envelopes' is appropriate as it indicates multiple items being delivered. The other choices, 'Every,' 'Block,' and 'Mailperson's,' do not capture the primary task carried out by the mailperson. Therefore, 'Envelopes' is the correct choice.
Question 3 of 5
Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence: '___________ left these books on the table needs to put them away.'
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Whoever.' In this sentence, the pronoun needs to be in the subjective form to refer to the subject who left the books on the table. 'Whoever' is a subjective pronoun, making it the appropriate choice. 'Whomever' is an object pronoun and is incorrect in this context. 'Whom' is also an object pronoun and doesn't suit the context. 'Who' is not the best option here since it's not in the correct form for the subject of the sentence.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following correctly completes the sentence? 'He -------------------------- football game.'
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Almost never attends.' Adverbs of frequency in English, like 'almost never,' usually come before the main verb. In this case, the adverb 'almost never' should precede the verb 'attends.' Thus, the sentence should be 'He almost never attends football games.' This word order effectively conveys the idea that he rarely goes to football games.
Question 5 of 5
When considering sentence structure, which phrase should be relocated to the end of the sentence? The painter decided to use the urn with flowers on the table as his subject.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In the sentence 'The painter decided to use the urn as his subject with flowers on the table,' the phrase 'As his subject' should be moved to the end of the sentence to enhance clarity and coherence. By placing 'As his subject' at the end, the purpose of using the urn is explicitly stated, followed by the descriptive detail of the flowers on the table, resulting in a more organized and logical sentence structure. This restructuring helps avoid ambiguity and ensures that the relationship between the urn and the flowers is clearly established, providing a smoother flow of information for the reader.
