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 correct answer is 'D' - 'have to'. The sentence 'Why did we have to try so hard?' is grammatically correct as it uses the past tense 'have to' to express a necessity or obligation in the past. 'Has to', 'Haven't', and 'had to' would not fit the sentence structure or convey the intended meaning of questioning the necessity of trying hard.
Question 2 of 5
Select the word or phrase that will make the sentence grammatically correct. _______ thought the movie was very good.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: we.' In this sentence, the subject pronoun 'we' is needed to complete the sentence grammatically. 'We' is the subject pronoun that agrees with the verb 'thought' in the sentence. Therefore, the correct choice is 'we.' 'Us,' 'them,' and 'ourselves' are not suitable options for the subject of the sentence and do not fit grammatically in this context.
Question 3 of 5
Select the word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct: Sometimes, the condition ............. with an unusual symptomā€"vertigo.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'presents.' In the sentence, 'presents' is the correct verb choice as it agrees with the subject 'condition.' 'Presense' (A) is a misspelling, 'present' (C) is incorrect due to lack of subject-verb agreement, and 'prescience' (D) does not fit the context as it means foresight. Therefore, 'presents' is the appropriate word to use in this sentence to maintain proper grammar and clarity.
Question 4 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 correct answer is 'D: have to.' The sentence is in the past tense ('did'), so the correct phrase should also be in the past. 'Have to' is the past form of 'have to,' making the sentence grammatically correct: 'Why did we have to try so hard?' This construction indicates a necessity or obligation in the past.
Question 5 of 5
Select the word or phrase that will make the sentence grammatically correct: _______ thought the movie was very good.
