HESI A2 Version 3 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is the correct pronoun to complete the sentence? My mother and ___ went shopping for clothes yesterday.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In this sentence, 'I' is the correct pronoun to use. When a subject pronoun is needed, the correct choice is 'I' when it follows a subject or linking verb. In this case, 'went' is the verb, making 'I' the appropriate pronoun. Therefore, the correct completion of the sentence is 'My mother and I went shopping for clothes yesterday.'
Question 2 of 5
Select the sentence that is grammatically correct.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'The nurse spoke to my sister and me about our motherā€™s condition.' In this sentence, 'me' is used as the object of the preposition 'to.' When referring to oneself along with others, 'me' should be used instead of 'I.' Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they incorrectly use 'I' instead of the correct 'me,' making them grammatically incorrect.
Question 3 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 4 of 5
Which phrase is used incorrectly in the sentence: 'The mailperson's job is to put the envelopes in every mailbox on the block'?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Envelope's.' The sentence is discussing the task of putting envelopes in mailboxes, so the plural form 'envelopes' should be used instead of the possessive form 'envelope's.' This correction ensures grammatical accuracy and clarity in the sentence.
Question 5 of 5
Which word in the following sentence is a relative pronoun? Of the many people whom she interviewed, she chose the one with the most experience.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In this sentence, 'whom' is the correct choice as it is the relative pronoun used to refer to people who are the object of the verb 'interviewed' in the subordinate clause. The use of 'whom' is necessary to maintain proper grammar and follow the rules of relative pronoun usage. Remember, 'who' is used for subjects, while 'whom' is used for objects. In this context, 'whom' is used because the people are being interviewed, making them the object of the action.
