HESI A2 Version 3 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
I am looking forward to ............ my birthday party next week.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In this sentence, the phrase 'looking forward to' is followed by a gerund, which is a verb form that functions as a noun. The correct choice is 'Having' because it transforms the verb 'have' into a noun, indicating the action of anticipating the birthday party. Therefore, the correct form to use in this sentence is 'Having.' This construction is commonly used after 'looking forward to' as it indicates anticipation of an event or activity.
Question 2 of 5
My sister gave the chocolate bar to my friend and.................
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this sentence, 'me' is the correct pronoun to use. When a pronoun is the object of a verb, as in this case ('gave to my friend and me'), 'me' is the appropriate choice. 'Myself' is a reflexive pronoun and is not suitable in this context. 'Us' is incorrect because the pronoun should be in the objective case. 'We' is incorrect as it is a subject pronoun, not an object pronoun, which is needed in this sentence.
Question 3 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 4 of 5
Everyone thought that was the easiest test of the whole course.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B - Easiest.' In this sentence, the superlative form 'easiest' should be used to compare the test to others in the course. 'Most easiest' (Choice A) and 'Most easy' (Choice D) are incorrect as 'easiest' is already the superlative form of 'easy.' 'Easy' (Choice C) is a comparative form and does not accurately describe the test in comparison to others. Therefore, 'Easiest' is the most suitable choice in this context.
