HESI A2 Version 5 Grammar Questions

Question 1 of 5

Select the correct word for the blank in the following sentence. After completing the intense surgery, Dr. Capra needed a long ___.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'break.' In this context, 'break' is the correct word to use after intense surgery, as it refers to a period of rest or interruption. 'Brake' refers to a device for slowing or stopping a moving vehicle, 'brink' means the edge or margin of something, and 'broke' is the past tense of 'break.' Therefore, the most appropriate choice is 'break' to indicate the need for rest after completing the surgery.

Question 2 of 5

Which word is not used correctly in the context of the following sentence? After ringing up the nails, the cashier handed Nedra her receipt and change.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The word 'recipe' is not used correctly in the sentence. The correct word should be 'receipt,' which refers to a written acknowledgment of receiving something or the list of items purchased, rather than 'recipe,' which is a set of instructions for preparing a particular dish.

Question 3 of 5

Select the word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct: After waking up, Dean eyed the cheesecake.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, 'hungrily.' In this sentence, 'hungrily' is an adverb that correctly describes how Dean eyed the cheesecake after waking up. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, and in this context, 'hungrily' provides additional information about how Dean was looking at the cheesecake. The word 'hungry' (choice A) is an adjective and does not fit the sentence structure. 'Hungriest' (choice B) is a superlative form of 'hungry' and is also incorrect in this context. 'More hungry' (choice D) is not the appropriate form to modify the action of 'eyed,' making it grammatically incorrect.

'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.'
