HESI A2 Version 5 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Select the word that correctly completes the following sentence: The intern was surprised by the ______ of pain he was in after his first day of work.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In this context, the word 'amount' is the most appropriate choice to describe the level or quantity of pain the intern was experiencing after his first day of work. 'Frequency' and 'number' do not convey the intended meaning, while 'amplitude' refers more to the magnitude of a wave or vibration, making it less suitable in this context.
Question 2 of 5
Select the word or phrase in the sentence that is not used correctly. "The data confirms that the patient is experiencing extreme anxiety immediately."
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The word 'confirms' in choice B is not used correctly in the sentence. The correct verb should be 'confirms' instead of 'confirm' to agree with the singular subject 'data.' Therefore, 'confirms' should be used instead of 'confirm' to maintain subject-verb agreement.
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 that makes the following sentence grammatically correct. These days, you can't avoid learning how to use a computer.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'avoid.' The original sentence is grammatically incorrect due to the improper use of the verb 'learning.' The correct structure should be 'These days, you can't avoid learning how to use a computer.' In this context, 'avoid' fits best as it conveys the idea of not being able to escape or prevent learning how to use a computer.
Question 5 of 5
Which word is not used correctly in the context of the following sentence? After ringing up the nails, the cashier handed Nedra her receipt and change.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The word 'recipe' is not used correctly in the sentence. The correct word should be 'receipt,' which refers to a written acknowledgment of receiving something or the list of items purchased, rather than 'recipe,' which is a set of instructions for preparing a particular dish.
