HESI A2 Version 5 Grammar Questions

Question 1 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 2 of 5

Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct: Theo was in great shape; he ___ all the way back to the pier.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: In this sentence, the correct past tense form of the verb 'swim' is 'swam.' 'Swimmed' (Choice B) is not a valid past tense form of the verb. 'Swum' (Choice C) is the past participle form of 'swim' and does not fit in this context. 'Swim' (Choice D) is the base form of the verb and does not convey the past action correctly. Therefore, the correct choice is 'swam,' indicating that Theo already completed the action of swimming back to the pier in the past.

Question 3 of 5

Which word is used incorrectly in the following sentence? Will you teaches me how to do origami?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The word "teaches" in the sentence is used incorrectly. The correct verb form should be "teach" to agree with the subject "you." The corrected sentence should read: "Will you teach me how to do origami?" The verb "teach" is the appropriate form to indicate that someone is imparting knowledge or skills.

Question 4 of 5

Select the word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct: After waking up, Dean eyed the cheesecake.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, 'hungrily.' In this sentence, 'hungrily' is an adverb that correctly describes how Dean eyed the cheesecake after waking up. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, and in this context, 'hungrily' provides additional information about how Dean was looking at the cheesecake. The word 'hungry' (choice A) is an adjective and does not fit the sentence structure. 'Hungriest' (choice B) is a superlative form of 'hungry' and is also incorrect in this context. 'More hungry' (choice D) is not the appropriate form to modify the action of 'eyed,' making it grammatically incorrect.

Question 5 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 context, 'break' is the correct word to use after intense surgery, as it refers to a period of rest or interruption. 'Brake' refers to a device for slowing or stopping a moving vehicle, 'brink' means the edge or margin of something, and 'broke' is the past tense of 'break.' Therefore, the most appropriate choice is 'break' to indicate the need for rest after completing the surgery.
