HESI A2 Version 5 Grammar Questions
Question 1 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 2 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 'struck.' In this sentence, the verb should be in the past tense to agree with the subject 'development committee.' 'Struck' is the past tense form of the verb 'strike,' making the sentence grammatically correct. The verb 'stroke' is incorrect as it does not align with the past tense requirement of the sentence. 'Strike' is the base form of the verb and cannot be used as is in this context. Therefore, 'struck' is the only correct option that fits the sentence structure.
Question 3 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.
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
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 choice as it is an adverb that describes the verb 'danced.' Adverbs modify verbs, and in this context, 'badly' is used to describe how she danced, not the quality of her dancing skills. Therefore, the correct word to use in the sentence is 'badly.'
