HESI A2 Version 3 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Coffee experts feel that the .............. coffee blend is a dark blend.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In this sentence, the correct term to use when comparing two items is 'best.' 'Great' is used to describe something of considerable quality, but 'best' indicates the highest quality or excellence. Therefore, in the context of the sentence, the proper term is 'best.' It conveys that among all possible choices, the dark blend is superior in quality according to coffee experts.
Question 2 of 5
What is the correct contraction for 'They are'?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct contraction for 'They are' is 'They're.' Contractions are formed by combining pronouns and verbs to represent speech more informally. In this case, 'They're' is the appropriate contraction for 'They are.' 'Their' (choice A) is a possessive pronoun, not a contraction. 'The're' (choice C) contains a typo and is not a valid contraction. 'No contraction used' (choice D) is incorrect as a contraction does exist for 'They are,' which is 'They're.' Therefore, the correct answer is B.
Question 3 of 5
Which word is NOT GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The word 'library' is grammatically incorrect in this context. It should be 'librarian' instead of 'library.' 'Library' refers to a place, while 'librarian' refers to a person who works in a library. The other options ('An,' 'As,' 'During') are all grammatically correct words.
Question 4 of 5
What word is used incorrectly in this sentence: The six students in the class discussed the test results among themselves?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Among.' The word 'between' should be used instead of 'among' when discussing the relationship or distribution between two distinct groups or individuals. In this context, 'between themselves' should be used to indicate that the discussion was limited to the six students in the class.
