HESI A2 Version 4 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Do you know-----------
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: What time it is?' This choice forms a grammatically correct question, asking about the current time. The structure of the question should follow the pattern 'What time + verb + pronoun?' which is reflected in choice B. Choices A, C, and D have incorrect word order or lack the appropriate structure for asking about the time.
Question 2 of 5
A tuberculin skin test should be read within 24 hrs ___ administration.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct preposition to use in this context is 'of.' A tuberculin skin test should be read within 24 hours of administration to accurately interpret the results. Reading the test after this timeframe may lead to inaccurate results, affecting the interpretation and decision-making process regarding the individual's health status.
Question 3 of 5
Children depend on their parents for food, clothing, and shelter.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct sentence should read: 'Children depend on their parents for food, clothing, and shelter.' The preposition 'on' is used to show dependency. Children rely on their parents for essential needs. The other choices do not fit grammatically in the sentence or context of providing for children's basic necessities.
Question 4 of 5
The blue whale is the largest animal in the world.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The sentence is comparing the size of the blue whale to other animals, and when making such comparisons, we use 'in' to describe its position relative to the world. Therefore, the correct preposition to complete the sentence is 'in.' This construction conveys the idea that the blue whale holds the title for being the largest animal within the world's context.
Question 5 of 5
Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence: Once on a dark _________ day, we had four inches of snow fall in two hours.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: winter’s.' In the context of the sentence, 'winter’s' fits best as it gives a clear indication of the season being described. The phrase 'dark winter’s day' sets the scene more effectively than the other choices. 'Quiet,' 'carefree,' and 'mysterious' do not provide the specific seasonal context needed to complete the sentence appropriately. Choosing 'winter’s' enhances the imagery and helps convey a specific time of the year, making it the most suitable choice in this sentence.
