HESI A2 Version 4 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence: The salutation of a formal letter is often to ______ it may concern.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'whom.' In this context, 'whom' is the appropriate pronoun to use as it is the objective form of 'who' and follows the preposition 'to' in the sentence. 'Whom' is used when referring to the object of a verb or preposition, making it the correct choice to complete the sentence.
Question 2 of 5
As we celebrated the start of the evening festivities, our glasses ------------ and a toast was made by our host.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Were raised.' In this context, the phrase 'our glasses were raised' is a common expression used to signify a toast or a celebratory gesture of raising glasses before drinking. 'Were rose' (B) is incorrect grammatically as 'rose' is the past tense of 'rise' and not 'raise.' 'Were risen' (A) is also incorrect. Choice (D) 'Arose' is not the appropriate form for this passive construction. Therefore, 'Were raised' is the correct choice.
Question 3 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.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence: My father ___________ me to drive after school today.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'will teach.' In this sentence, the action of teaching to drive is set to happen in the future, after school today. The verb 'will teach' indicates a future action, making it the most appropriate choice to complete the sentence correctly. Using 'will teach' shows that the teaching will occur at a specific time, which aligns with the context of the sentence.
