HESI A2 Version 5 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct: The hospital is located ______ the top of the hill.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The preposition 'of' is the correct choice in this sentence. When indicating a specific position in a location, 'at the top of the hill' is the appropriate phrase to use, making 'of' the most suitable option to complete the sentence grammatically. In this context, 'of' shows the relationship between the top and the hill, indicating a position at the highest point of the hill.
Question 2 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 sentence, 'break' is the appropriate word to indicate that Dr. Capra needed time for rest or relaxation after the intense surgery. 'Brake' refers to a device for slowing or stopping a vehicle. 'Brink' means the edge or verge of something, and 'broke' is the past tense of 'break' and does not fit in the context of the sentence.
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: The correct answer is 'we.' The sentence should read 'We thought the movie was very good.' 'We' is the subject pronoun that agrees with the verb 'thought' in this sentence, providing the correct subject-verb agreement.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
Select the correct word for the blank in the following sentence. Sharon felt ___ about how her speech had gone.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this context, the correct word to describe Sharon's feelings about her speech is 'good.' 'Good' is the appropriate adjective to use when referring to emotions or feelings, while 'well' is more commonly used to describe actions. 'Finely' is an adverb and does not fit the context of the sentence. 'Happily' refers more to the manner in which Sharon felt, rather than the quality of her feelings.
