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 that fits in the sentence correctly: 'The student had a great deal of trouble ____ with the teacher.'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'communicating.' In this sentence, 'trouble' requires a verb form, and 'communicating' is the gerund form of the verb that correctly completes the sentence. The other options, 'communicate,' 'community,' and 'communication,' do not fit grammatically.

Question 3 of 5

Which sentence uses the verb correctly?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. In this sentence, "ate" is the correct past tense form of the verb "eat," indicating that the action of eating the stromboli, bucket of fries, and elephant ear occurred in the past. Option A is incorrect because "eat" should be "ate" to reflect the past tense. Option C is incorrect because "eats" should be "is eating" to indicate the present continuous tense. Option D is incorrect because "has ate" should be "has eaten" to use the present perfect tense correctly.

Question 4 of 5

Select the word or phrase in the sentence that is not used correctly: 'Her mother asked her what would she do after she graduated from college.'

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. The phrase should be structured as 'what she would do' instead of 'what would she do.' In English, when forming questions or indirect questions, the subject and the auxiliary verb are inverted. Therefore, the correct order in this sentence is 'what she would do.' This maintains the correct word order for questions and indirect questions in English.

Question 5 of 5

Which sentence is grammatically correct?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. 'The woman who made the cake is waiting for her payment.' is grammatically correct. In choice B, 'whom' should be replaced with 'who' as it is the subject of the sentence. Choice C should use 'who' instead of 'whom' since 'who' is the subject of the verb 'will take.' In choice D, 'choose' should be used instead of 'chose' to maintain subject-verb agreement in the future tense.
