HESI A2 Version 3 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Place the four words in alphabetical order.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When arranging the words in alphabetical order, 'Assemble' comes first, followed by 'assembled,' 'assembling,' and then 'assembly.' Therefore, the correct order is 'Assemble, assembled, assembling, assembly,' which corresponds to choice A.
Question 2 of 5
Which sentence is GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct sentence is Choice A, 'A lot of people enjoy baseball movies.' 'A lot' means a large number or many, and in this context, it is used correctly to describe the number of people who enjoy baseball movies. Choices B, C, and D contain errors in the use of 'alot' or 'allot,' which are incorrect spellings. 'Alot' is not a recognized word in standard English, and 'allot' means to distribute or assign something, neither of which fits the context of the sentences in Choices B, C, and D.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following sentences is grammatically incorrect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this question, we are looking for the sentence that is grammatically incorrect. The correct answer is B, 'He performed good on the test.' The word 'good' is an adjective, but in this context, we need an adverb to describe how he performed. The correct form is 'well,' which is an adverb describing the verb 'performed.' Therefore, the sentence should be 'He performed well on the test.' Choices A, C, and D are all grammatically correct sentences.
Question 4 of 5
She went to the party ...................... her dislike for the host.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'In spite of.' This phrase is used to indicate that she attended the party despite her dislike for the host. 'Despite of' in choice A is incorrect as 'of' should not follow 'despite.' 'Even though' in choice B is not the best fit in this context as it is used to introduce a contrast or concession rather than explaining an action. 'Although' in choice C is also not the most suitable choice here as it is used to introduce a clause expressing a contrast. Therefore, 'In spite of' in choice D correctly conveys the intended meaning that she went to the party despite her dislike for the host.
Question 5 of 5
In the English language, what is a rule that sentences should follow in terms of the first letter?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D - 'Capital.' In English, a fundamental rule is that sentences should begin with a capital letter. 'Capitol' refers to a building where a legislative body meets, 'forget' means to fail to remember, and 'simple' denotes something easy or uncomplicated. Therefore, the correct word choice in this context is 'Capital,' referring to uppercase letters.
