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

Which word is not used correctly in the context of the following sentence? "There is no real distinction among the two treatment protocols recommended online."

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'among.' The preposition 'among' is used when referring to three or more items, while 'between' should be used when comparing two items. In this sentence, 'between' would be the appropriate choice to show the comparison between the two treatment protocols. The other words ('real,' 'protocols,' 'online') are used correctly in the sentence.

Question 3 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: The correct answer is 'swam.' In the sentence, the past tense of the verb 'swim' is needed to maintain grammatical correctness. 'Swam' is the correct past tense form of 'swim,' making the sentence coherent and accurately describing Theo's actions. Using 'swimmed' (Choice B) is grammatically incorrect as 'swim' follows a regular conjugation pattern where the past tense is formed by adding '-ed' to the base form. 'Swum' (Choice C) is the past participle form and is not suitable for this context. 'Swim' (Choice D) is the base form and does not fit the past tense structure required in the sentence. Therefore, 'swam' (Choice A) is the only correct option that fits the sentence grammatically.

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

Which word in the following sentence is the subject? The nurses went to the conference room.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: In a sentence, the subject is the noun or pronoun that performs the action of the verb. In this sentence, 'nurses' is the subject as they are the ones performing the action of going to the conference room. The other choices, 'conference', 'went to', and 'room' do not act as the subject because they do not perform the action of the verb.
