HESI A2 Version 3 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Most children must learn for ....................... the importance of good manners.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In this sentence, 'children' is a plural noun, so the correct pronoun to use is 'themselves.' The reflexive pronoun 'themselves' refers back to the plural subject 'children' and indicates that the action of learning is being done by the children themselves. Therefore, the correct choice is 'D: Themselves.' Using 'themselves' ensures subject-verb agreement and maintains the correct pronoun-antecedent relationship in the sentence.
Question 2 of 5
Which phrase is used incorrectly in the sentence? He ate for pieces of fried chicken at dinner, and no vegetables.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The corrected sentence should read, 'He ate four pieces of fried chicken at dinner, and no vegetables.' The original question had the correct number 'four,'.
Question 3 of 5
The doctor made an error with the medication, so the doctor.............. notes about it in the patient's file.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. In the sentence, the doctor 'made' notes about the error in the patient's file. 'Made' is the appropriate verb to indicate that the doctor created or wrote down the notes. Choices A, B, and C do not fit grammatically or contextually in the given sentence. It is essential to choose the correct verb that aligns with the action performed, and in this case, 'made' is the most suitable option.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following sentences is grammatically correct?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. This sentence is grammatically correct as it uses the conjunction 'because' to connect two clauses properly. 'Because the patient could walk' is a dependent clause, and 'he was allowed to leave his room' is an independent clause. Option A is incorrect because it lacks a conjunction to connect the two subjects correctly. Option B is a sentence fragment without a main clause. Option C is incorrect due to the misuse of commas to separate the subjects; it should use 'and' to list the subjects properly. Therefore, Option D is the only grammatically correct sentence among the choices.
Question 5 of 5
What is the appropriate salutation for the given address?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A salutation is a greeting used before a person's name or a title in written or verbal communication. In this case, 'Mr.' is the suitable salutation for the address provided, as it is a formal title used to address a male individual. '1600 Pennsylvania Ave.' is the street address, '20003' is the zip code, and 'Ryan' is likely a name. However, when addressing someone formally in a written or verbal communication, 'Mr.' is the appropriate salutation to use.
