HESI A2 Version 4 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
During the storm, the glass in three of the windows -------------------.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct form of the verb to use in this sentence is 'broke.' 'Broke' is the past tense of 'break' and is the appropriate choice to indicate that the glass in three of the windows shattered or cracked during the storm. The verb needs to be in the past tense to match the timeframe of the action happening during the storm, making 'broke' the correct choice.
Question 2 of 5
Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence: My brother is crazy for science fiction stories; _________, I prefer mysteries.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The sentence is presenting a contrast between the preferences for different types of stories. 'However' is the most appropriate choice as it signifies the contrast between the brother's liking for science fiction stories and the speaker's preference for mysteries. 'Moreover' and 'in addition' would imply adding to the brother's interest rather than contrasting it, and 'as a result' would indicate a consequence, which is not the intended meaning in this context.
Question 3 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 4 of 5
Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence: My brother and ______ are going to the movies this weekend.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B - I.' The pronoun 'I' is used as the subject of a sentence, so in this case, 'My brother and I are going to the movies this weekend' is the correct form. When referring to oneself along with someone else as the subject of a sentence, 'I' should be used, not 'me.' Choices C and D are not appropriate in this context as they are not subject pronouns.
Question 5 of 5
Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence: '___________ left these books on the table needs to put them away.'
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Whoever.' In this sentence, the pronoun needs to be in the subjective form to refer to the subject who left the books on the table. 'Whoever' is a subjective pronoun, making it the appropriate choice. 'Whomever' is an object pronoun and is incorrect in this context. 'Whom' is also an object pronoun and doesn't suit the context. 'Who' is not the best option here since it's not in the correct form for the subject of the sentence.
