HESI A2 Version 5 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Select the word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct: Why did we __________ try so hard?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The sentence structure requires a present tense verb form to complete the question 'Why did we ______ try so hard?' In this case, 'have to' is the correct choice to form a grammatically correct sentence. The correct sentence would be 'Why did we have to try so hard?' indicating a necessity or obligation to exert effort.
Question 2 of 5
Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence. The student sang well, but she danced...
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this sentence, 'badly' is the correct adverb to describe how the student danced. Adverbs modify verbs, in this case, 'danced,' so 'badly' is the appropriate word choice here. It indicates the manner in which the student danced, not the quality of her dancing.
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: In this sentence, the correct pronoun to use is 'we' as the subject of the sentence. Therefore, the correct completion of the sentence is 'We thought the movie was very good.' 'Us', 'them', and 'ourselves' are incorrect in this context as they do not serve as the subject pronoun needed for proper grammar.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
Select the word that correctly completes the following sentence: The intern was surprised by the amount of pain he was in after his first day of work.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In this sentence, the word that best fits is 'amount,' as it refers to the quantity or level of pain the intern experienced. 'Frequency' and 'number' do not convey the intended meaning in the context of pain, and 'amplitude' is more commonly used in physics or sound-related contexts. Therefore, the correct answer is 'amount.'
