HESI A2 Version 4 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence: My brother and ______ are going to the movies this weekend.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B - I.' The pronoun 'I' is used as the subject of a sentence, so in this case, 'My brother and I are going to the movies this weekend' is the correct form. When referring to oneself along with someone else as the subject of a sentence, 'I' should be used, not 'me.' Choices C and D are not appropriate in this context as they are not subject pronouns.
Question 2 of 5
You ----------- on your final exam.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Did well.' In this context, the question is asking about your performance on the final exam. 'Did well' is the appropriate phrase to indicate that you performed satisfactorily. Choices A and B are incorrect as they do not fit the context. Choice D, 'Did good,' is grammatically incorrect; the correct adverb form to modify the verb 'did' is 'well,' not 'good.'
Question 3 of 5
Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence: Birds _______ merrily as they greeted the new day with enthusiasm.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'chirped.' In the sentence provided, the action of birds chirping is described in the past tense ('greeted,' 'merrily'), indicating that the appropriate verb form to use is also in the past tense. 'Chirped' is the correct past tense form of the verb 'chirp' and fits the context of the sentence.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following is a direct object? (affected by the verb) The nurse helped the patient with the medication
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In the sentence 'The nurse helped the patient with the medication,' the direct object is 'medication' as it directly receives the action of the verb 'helped.' The patient is not the direct object but the indirect object, and the nurse is the subject performing the action. Direct objects are the receivers of the action in a sentence. In this case, 'medication' is directly affected by the verb 'helped,' making it the direct object. Remember, direct objects answer the question 'What?' or 'Whom?' after the verb in a sentence.
Question 5 of 5
The child cried, 'I want to do it--------------------.'
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In this context, the reflexive pronoun 'myself' is the correct choice. 'Myself' is used to emphasize the subject 'I' in the sentence, indicating that the child wants to perform the action independently. 'Mine' is a possessive pronoun, 'Me' is an object pronoun, and 'Me self' is grammatically incorrect. Therefore, 'Myself' best fits the sentence structure and meaning.
