HESI A2 Version 1 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Choose the correct word to fill in the blank: 'The party was scheduled to last ____ five to seven.'
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. 'From' is the appropriate preposition to indicate the starting point of the time range during which the party is scheduled to last. In this context, 'from' is used to show the beginning time of the party, which is 5 o'clock. Therefore, the sentence should read as 'The party was scheduled to last from five to seven.'
Question 2 of 5
Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct: 'The student was very proud of ____ when he aced the test.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'himself.' In this sentence, 'himself' is the reflexive pronoun that correctly completes the sentence. Reflexive pronouns like 'himself' are used when the subject and object of a sentence refer to the same person or thing. Therefore, the sentence should be: 'The student was very proud of himself when he aced the test.'
Question 3 of 5
What sentence should replace the following incorrect sentence? 'This door to remain unlocked when occupied.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The original sentence 'This door to remain unlocked when occupied.' is the correct way to indicate that the door should be unlocked when occupied. The sentence is written in a passive voice to convey the instruction clearly and concisely, making it the correct choice without the need for any replacement.
Question 4 of 5
Which sentence is grammatically correct?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. In this sentence, the subject pronoun should be 'He' rather than 'Him,' 'Himself,' or 'His.' 'He' is the correct subject pronoun to use when referring to the subject in this context, making the sentence grammatically correct. When referring to the subject along with another person, 'He' is the appropriate subject pronoun to use, as it is the subjective pronoun for the third-person singular masculine gender. Therefore, 'He and my brother were at the concert last night' is the grammatically correct sentence.
Question 5 of 5
What word is used incorrectly in the sentence? 'The team want to go to the next game early for tryouts.'
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. 'Want' is incorrect because 'team' is a collective noun that takes a singular verb form. In this case, 'team' is the subject of the sentence, so the singular verb 'wants' should be used to maintain subject-verb agreement. Therefore, the sentence should read as 'The team wants to go to the next game early for tryouts.'
