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 in the sentence that is not used correctly. The patient's voice was a little hoarse, and he complained of a sore throat, so the doctor prescribed a lozenge.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. 'Horse' should be 'hoarse' in the sentence. 'Hoarse' describes the quality of the patient's voice, indicating a rough or harsh sound. On the other hand, 'horse' refers to the animal. Therefore, 'hoarse' is the correct term to use in this context. The sentence is discussing the patient's voice being rough, not an animal, so 'hoarse' is the appropriate choice.
Question 3 of 5
Which sentence is grammatically correct?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. In this sentence, "Its" is used correctly as the possessive form, indicating ownership of the plastic eye. In option B, "it's" is incorrectly used instead of the possessive "its." In option C, "It's" is incorrectly used as a contraction for "it is" .In option D, "it's" is again incorrectly used for possession, which should be "its." Thus, option A is the only grammatically correct sentence.
Question 4 of 5
Select the word or phrase in the sentence that is not used correctly: 'She chose too pretty pins to wear on her dress.'
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The word "too" in the original sentence is used incorrectly. In this context, "too" means excessively, which does not align with the intended meaning of the sentence. The correct word should be "two," indicating the quantity of pins chosen. The sentence should read, "She chose two pretty pins to wear on her dress," clearly conveying that she selected a specific number of pins. Using "too" alters the meaning, suggesting that the pins are excessively pretty, which is not the intended message.
Question 5 of 5
Which sentence uses the verb correctly?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. 'Has driven' is the correct past participle form in this context. In choice B, 'has gone' should be used instead of 'gone.' For choice C, 'has rung' is the correct form. In choice D, 'has become' is the appropriate verb form. Therefore, the sentence in choice A is the only one that uses the verb correctly in the past participle form.
