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

Which phrase is used incorrectly in the sentence: 'The mailperson's job is to put the envelope’s in every mailbox on the block'?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Envelope’s.' The sentence is discussing the task of putting envelopes in mailboxes, so the plural form 'envelopes' should be used instead of the possessive form 'envelope's.' This correction ensures grammatical accuracy and clarity in the sentence.

Question 3 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 4 of 5

Before his death at age 82, comedian Rodney Dangerfield's motto was, 'I don't get any respect.'

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: No.' The original sentence uses a double negative 'don't get no respect,' which is grammatically incorrect. Using 'any' instead of 'no' corrects the double negative, making the sentence grammatically accurate. Therefore, the corrected sentence reads, 'I don't get any respect,' aligning with standard English grammar rules.

Question 5 of 5

Which word best fills in the blank? If they ______ that the weather was going to be so bad, they wouldn’t have gone to the beach.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, we are talking about a past condition that did not happen. The correct structure to express this type of situation is the third conditional, which uses the past perfect in the if-clause (had known) and would have + past participle in the main clause (wouldn't have gone). Therefore, the correct answer is 'C: Had known.' This choice correctly conveys the idea that if they had known about the bad weather in advance, they would not have gone to the beach.
