HESI A2 Version 5 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Select the correct word(s) for the blank in the following sentence. The student thought the second test was __________ than the first test.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the sentence, a comparative form is required to compare the difficulty level of the second test with the first test. 'Harder' is the correct comparative form of 'hard' to use in this context. 'More hard' (choice B) is incorrect as 'hard' is an irregular adjective that forms its comparative with 'harder.' Choices C and D, 'hardest' and 'most hardest,' are in the superlative form which is not suitable for this comparison.
Question 2 of 5
Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct: ........... picking up groceries one of the things you are supposed to do?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: is.' In this sentence, the subject is 'picking up groceries,' which is singular. Therefore, the verb 'is' should agree with the singular subject. The correct structure is 'Is picking up groceries one of the things you are supposed to do?'
Question 3 of 5
Select the word that makes the following sentence grammatically correct: These days, you can't ___ learning how to use a computer.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'D' - 'avoid.' The sentence requires a verb after 'can't' to be grammatically correct. 'Avoid' is the correct verb in this context to convey the idea that learning how to use a computer is inevitable in today's world. 'Not,' 'evading,' and 'despite' do not fit the sentence structure or meaning required to make it grammatically correct.
Question 4 of 5
Select the correct word for the blank in the following sentence: The other day, Stan ______ reviewing his class notes in preparation for the final exam.
Correct Answer: D

'Began' is the correct past tense form of the verb 'begin.' Therefore, the correct answer is 'began.' It shows that Stan started reviewing his notes in the past, which aligns with the context of the sentence.
