HESI A2 Version 3 Grammar Questions

Question 1 of 5

If I were you, I'd leave now.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Were.' This sentence is a conditional statement in the subjunctive mood, indicating a hypothetical situation. The correct form for the second person singular in the subjunctive mood is 'were.' Therefore, the correct structure should be 'If I were you, I'd leave now.' The use of 'is,' 'be,' or 'was' would be grammatically incorrect in this context.

Question 2 of 5

Identify the sentence with correct grammar usage.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: In English, the subject and verb must agree in number. In option D, 'Sherri and her cousin' is a plural subject, so the plural verb 'were' is the correct form to use. Options A, B, and C have subject-verb agreement errors. Option A should use 'were' instead of 'was' to agree with the plural subjects. Option B should use 'are' instead of 'is' to agree with the plural subject list. Option C should use 'are' instead of 'is' to agree with the plural noun 'cages.' Therefore, option D is the correct choice.

Question 3 of 5

What is the correct preposition to complete the sentence? A tuberculin skin test should be read within 24 hours __________ administration.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct preposition to use in this context is 'of.' The sentence structure requires 'of' to indicate the specific time frame (24 hours) in relation to the action (administration). Therefore, the sentence should read: 'A tuberculin skin test should be read within 24 hrs of administration.' This preposition correctly links the time frame to the action being performed.

Question 4 of 5

Be careful not to............... the bottle while you carry it to the table.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Break.' In this sentence, the word 'break' is the correct choice. 'Break' means to separate into pieces as a result of a blow, shock, or strain. The sentence is advising caution not to cause the bottle to break while carrying it to the table.

Question 5 of 5

In which sentence is the word fast used as an adverb?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: In sentence D, 'fast' is used as an adverb to describe how the cars moved, indicating speed. An adverb modifies a verb and usually ends in -ly, but 'fast' is an irregular adverb that does not require an -ly ending. In this context, 'fast' answers the question of how the cars moved on the overpass.
