HESI A2 Version 5 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence: The college ___ he chose is in New York.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this sentence, 'that' is the most appropriate word to use to refer to the college. 'Which' is used for things, 'who' is used for people, and 'what' is used for general objects or concepts. Therefore, 'that' is the correct choice to complete the sentence.
Question 2 of 5
Select the correct word for the blank in the following sentence. The student completed the test..............
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In this sentence, the word should describe how the student completed the test, indicating speed. The correct word to use in this context is 'quickly,' an adverb that describes the action of completing the test with speed. 'Quite' means to a certain or fairly significant extent, 'quick' is an adjective for fast, and 'quietly' is an adverb describing how quietly the action is performed. Therefore, the correct answer is 'quickly.'
Question 3 of 5
Select the word or phrase that will make the sentence grammatically correct. _______ thought the movie was very good.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: we.' In this sentence, the subject pronoun 'we' is needed to complete the sentence grammatically. 'We' is the subject pronoun that agrees with the verb 'thought' in the sentence. Therefore, the correct choice is 'we.' 'Us,' 'them,' and 'ourselves' are not suitable options for the subject of the sentence and do not fit grammatically in this context.
Question 4 of 5
Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct: The hospital is located at the top ________ the hill.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In this context, the correct preposition to use is 'of.' When referring to a location at the top of a hill, 'of' is the appropriate preposition to indicate the relationship between the hospital and the hill. The preposition 'of' shows a connection or possession between the hospital and the hill. Therefore, the correct choice is 'of.'
Question 5 of 5
Which word is used incorrectly in the following sentence? Will you teaches me how to do origami?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The word "teaches" in the sentence is used incorrectly. The correct verb form should be "teach" to agree with the subject "you." The corrected sentence should read: "Will you teach me how to do origami?" The verb "teach" is the appropriate form to indicate that someone is imparting knowledge or skills.
