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: 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 2 of 5

Select the correct word for the blank in the following sentence: The other day, Stan _____ reviewing his class notes in preparation for the final exam.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, the action of Stan reviewing his class notes took place in the past. The phrase 'The other day' signifies a past event. Therefore, the correct verb tense to use is the past tense. 'Began' is the past tense form of 'begin,' making it the appropriate choice to fill in the blank. Hence, 'began' is the correct answer for this sentence.

Question 3 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: In this sentence, the correct word to use is 'break.' A 'break' refers to a period of rest or time away from work, which is suitable after completing intense surgery. It is a common collocation to say someone needs a 'break' after a physically or mentally taxing activity. 'Brake' is a device for slowing or stopping motion, 'brink' refers to the edge or border of something, and 'broke' is the past tense of 'break' and does not fit the context of the sentence.

Question 4 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 5 of 5

Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct: The development committee ___ a bargain with the city planners.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: struck.' In this sentence, the correct verb form to use is 'struck,' which is the past tense of 'strike.' Therefore, the sentence should read: 'The development committee struck a bargain with the city planners.'
