HESI A2 Version 4 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Select the sentence in which 'legal' is used as an adjective.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In sentence D, the word 'legal' is used as an adjective to describe the type of resident the person is. It qualifies the noun 'resident,' indicating the person's status. The other sentences use 'legal' in the context of actions or activities, not as a describing word. Therefore, choice D is the correct answer as 'legal' functions as an adjective in that sentence, defining the nature of the person's residency.
Question 2 of 5
The blue whale is the largest animal in the world.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The sentence is comparing the size of the blue whale to other animals, and when making such comparisons, we use 'in' to describe its position relative to the world. Therefore, the correct preposition to complete the sentence is 'in.' This construction conveys the idea that the blue whale holds the title for being the largest animal within the world's context.
Question 3 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.
Question 4 of 5
During the storm, the glass in three of the windows was broken.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct choice is 'was broken' (C). In this sentence, the subject 'glass' is singular, so the verb should also be singular ('was broken'). 'Broken' (A) is incorrect as it doesn't agree with the singular subject. 'Breaks' (B) is in the present tense, which is incorrect as the sentence is in the past tense. 'Were broken' (D) is incorrect as it uses a plural verb form that doesn't match the singular subject. Therefore, 'was broken' is the correct choice for subject-verb agreement in this sentence.
Question 5 of 5
The child cried, 'I want to do it-----------------.'
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In this sentence, the pronoun that should follow 'do it' is reflexive, indicating the action is done by the subject to the subject. 'Myself' is the correct reflexive pronoun here. 'Mine' is a possessive pronoun, 'Me' is incorrect as it should be in its reflexive form, and 'Me self' is not a valid pronoun construction.
