HESI A2 Version 3 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence: I will ___ that chart to the patientā€™s room later today.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Take.' In this context, 'take' is the most appropriate choice as it indicates moving something to another location. The sentence implies that the person will transfer the chart to the patientā€™s room, which aligns with the meaning of 'take' when referring to moving objects from one place to another.
Question 2 of 5
She went to the party ......................... her dislike for the host.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: In spite of.' 'In spite of' is the appropriate phrase to indicate that she attended the party despite her dislike for the host. 'Despite of' is incorrect as 'despite' already conveys the idea of 'in spite of.' 'Even though' and 'although' are conjunctions, but they are not the best fit in this context. Therefore, the most appropriate choice is 'D: In spite of.'
Question 3 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.'
Question 4 of 5
Everyone thought that was the ........................ test of the whole course.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this sentence, the superlative form 'easiest' should be used to compare the test to all other tests in the course. 'Most easiest' is incorrect because 'easiest' already implies the highest degree of ease. 'Easy' is incorrect as it is not a comparative form. 'Most easy' is also incorrect as it does not convey the comparison needed in the context. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Easiest.'
Question 5 of 5
Which answer correctly completes the sentence? It is required that he ________ the payment immediately.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In this sentence, 'he' is the subject of the verb. When using 'required that' or similar constructions, the base form of the verb should follow. Therefore, the correct form is 'Send,' making it the appropriate choice. The base form of the verb is used after phrases like 'required that' to indicate a necessary action or obligation. 'Sent' is the past tense, 'sends' is the third-person singular present tense, and 'sended' is not a correct form of the verb in this context.
