HESI A2 Version 4 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Select the sentence in which 'snake' is used as a verb.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In sentence B, 'snake' is used as a verb to describe the action of the spy moving in a serpentine or winding manner onto the train. The other sentences use 'snake' as a noun to refer to a type of reptile or a plumbing tool. Therefore, the correct answer is B as it demonstrates the verb usage of 'snake.' The verb 'snake' in this context means to move or twist in a winding path, reflecting the spy's stealthy and secretive approach onto the train.
Question 2 of 5
Select the word or phrase in the sentence that is not used correctly: The data indicates that the patient is suffering from extreme anxiety, and tranquilizing medication is immediately required.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Indicates.' In the sentence, 'indicate' should be used instead of 'indicates' to match the plural subject 'data.' 'Indicate' is the correct plural form of the verb for the plural subject 'data.' The other choices ('extreme anxiety,' 'is,' 'immediately') are used correctly in the sentence. Remember that when the subject is plural, the verb should also be in its plural form, which is 'indicate' in this case.
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
Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence: '_______ is my favorite black dress.'
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'That.' In the sentence, 'That is my favorite black dress,' 'That' is used to refer to a singular object that is close in proximity. 'This here' is colloquial and not suitable for formal writing, making it incorrect in this context. 'Those' is plural and does not agree with the singular noun 'dress.' 'Where' is used to denote a location or position, which is not suitable for describing a dress. Therefore, 'That' is the most appropriate word choice to complete the sentence.
Question 5 of 5
Which phrase in the following sentence is grammatically incorrect? The patient asked to choose ate items from the menu that are his favorites
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'ate items' as the original sentence is grammatically incorrect due to the misspelling of 'ate' instead of 'eight.' The sentence should read 'eight items' to indicate the number of items the patient is asked to choose. It is important to use the correct numerical term to avoid confusion and accurately convey the message.
