HESI A2 Version 3 Grammar Questions
Question 1 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 2 of 5
Arrange the following four words in alphabetical order:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To arrange words in alphabetical order, you need to consider the sequence of the first letters of each word. In this case, 'A' precedes 'E,' 'I,' and 'U.' Therefore, the correct alphabetical order is 'Assemble, assembled, assembling, assembly,' making choice A the correct answer.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following sentences is grammatically correct?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct sentence structure should have the subject performing the action. In choice A, 'the students' is the subject watching the action 'the snow begin to fall,' which is grammatically correct. Choices B and C have errors in subject-verb agreement and clarity. Choice B implies that the snow is performing the action of falling on the students, which is awkward and lacks clarity. Choice C lacks a clear subject for the action of snow falling. Choice D uses 'fell' instead of 'fall,' which is incorrect in this context. Therefore, option A is the grammatically correct sentence.
Question 4 of 5
Which word should be used in the following sentence? When a person finds ________ in a stressful situation, it helps to breathe deeply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The corrected question maintains a gender-neutral form when referring to an individual, making 'themselves' the appropriate choice. In this context, 'themselves' is used as a reflexive pronoun to match the singular 'person' without specifying gender. It is a common and accepted practice to use 'themselves' for gender neutrality. Therefore, option A is the correct choice for this question.
Question 5 of 5
What is the correct verb to complete the sentence? Economics __________ my least favorite subject in school.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Is.' In this sentence, 'Economics' is a singular subject, so the correct verb to use is 'is' to match the singular form. Therefore, the sentence should read: 'Economics is my least favorite subject at school.' The verb 'been' (B) is incorrect as it is the past participle of 'be' and does not fit the sentence structure. 'Am' (C) and 'Are' (D) are also incorrect as they are not the appropriate verb forms to match the singular subject 'Economics.'
