HESI A2 Version 3 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Most children must learn for ......................... the importance of good manners.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Themselves.' In this sentence, 'children' is a plural noun, so the pronoun that should follow it must also be plural. 'Themselves' is the correct reflexive pronoun used to refer back to the plural noun 'children.' It is essential to use the reflexive pronoun 'themselves' to emphasize that each child needs to learn about the importance of good manners.
Question 2 of 5
Identify the incomplete sentence.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. 'While they were sleeping.' is an incomplete sentence as it lacks a main subject or verb. A complete sentence should have both a subject and a verb to express a complete thought. Options A, B, and D are all complete sentences with proper subjects and verbs. 'He wept.' has the subject 'He' and verb 'wept.' 'Everything worked out all right.' has the subject 'Everything' and verb 'worked out.' 'Babies are soft, cute, and cuddly.' has the subject 'Babies' and verb 'are.'
Question 3 of 5
Which sentence is NOT GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Choice B is not grammatically correct. The correct conjunction to use in this context is 'then' to indicate the sequence of actions. 'Than' is used for making comparisons between things. The sentence should read: 'The nurse decided to bathe the client, then trim his nails.' Choices A, C, and D are all grammatically correct sentences.
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.
Question 5 of 5
After throwing their sleeping bags into the backseat of their car, they...................more than 400 miles to reach their destination.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In this sentence, the correct form is 'drove' as it is the simple past tense of the verb 'drive.' The action of driving more than 400 miles occurred after they threw their sleeping bags into the backseat. 'Driving' (choice A) is in the present participle form and does not fit the context. 'Having driven' (choice B) is in the present perfect tense, which is not suitable based on the sequence of events. 'Had driven' (choice D) is incorrect due to the incorrect use of 'had' with the past tense form of the verb. Therefore, the correct answer is 'C: Drove.'
