HESI A2 Version 3 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is the correct part of the sentence that needs to be corrected? He went form being skinny to a very strong man.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct phrase in this sentence is 'He went from,' not 'He went form.' The sentence structure is comparing his past state of being skinny to his current state of being a very strong man. 'From' is used to indicate the starting point of the change. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Went form.'
Question 2 of 5
Coffee experts feel that the best coffee blend is a dark blend.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Best.' In this sentence, the superlative form 'best' should be used to describe the highest quality coffee blend. 'More great' in choice A is incorrect because 'great' already implies superiority. 'Great' in choice B is not the superlative form needed in this context. 'Greatest' in choice D is not the appropriate choice as 'best' is the superlative form of 'good' and 'great'. Therefore, 'best' is the most suitable choice to convey the idea that the dark blend is of the highest quality among all coffee blends.
Question 3 of 5
During the fight, I was hit on the...
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct preposition to use in this context is 'on.' Therefore, the correct phrase is 'hit on the head.' When referring to a part of the body after being hit, it is customary to use the definite article 'the' before the body part. In this case, 'the head' is the correct phrase. Combining these rules, the complete and correct sentence is 'During the fight, I was hit on the head.' Therefore, the correct answer is 'A.'
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following sentences is grammatically correct?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct sentence structure should have the subject performing the action. In choice A, 'the students' is the subject watching the action 'the snow begin to fall,' which is grammatically correct. Choices B and C have errors in subject-verb agreement and clarity. Choice B implies that the snow is performing the action of falling on the students, which is awkward and lacks clarity. Choice C lacks a clear subject for the action of snow falling. Choice D uses 'fell' instead of 'fall,' which is incorrect in this context. Therefore, option A is the grammatically correct sentence.
Question 5 of 5
In the following sentence, which is the dependent clause? We played a game while we waited, and then we had dinner
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A dependent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb but does not express a complete thought and cannot stand alone as a sentence. In the sentence 'While we waited,' 'While we waited' is the dependent clause as it relies on the rest of the sentence for context and meaning. The other choices, 'We played,' 'Then we had dinner,' and 'A game,' are independent clauses that can stand alone as complete sentences.
