HESI A2 Version 4 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
What did she do when her boyfriend called, out of anger?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct action that fits the context of the question is 'Hung up.' When someone 'hangs up on' someone else, it means they abruptly end a phone call without saying goodbye or giving a chance to respond, typically out of anger or frustration. In this scenario, 'yelled,' 'screamed,' or 'spoke' do not accurately depict the action of abruptly ending the call, as 'hung up' does. Therefore, 'Hung up' is the correct choice that best conveys the action described in the question.
Question 2 of 5
Do you know-----------
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: What time it is?' This choice forms a grammatically correct question, asking about the current time. The structure of the question should follow the pattern 'What time + verb + pronoun?' which is reflected in choice B. Choices A, C, and D have incorrect word order or lack the appropriate structure for asking about the time.
Question 3 of 5
The child cried, 'I want to do it--------------------.'
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In this context, the reflexive pronoun 'myself' is the correct choice. 'Myself' is used to emphasize the subject 'I' in the sentence, indicating that the child wants to perform the action independently. 'Mine' is a possessive pronoun, 'Me' is an object pronoun, and 'Me self' is grammatically incorrect. Therefore, 'Myself' best fits the sentence structure and meaning.
Question 4 of 5
Which word from the following sentence is a noun? The blue bird flew across the sky
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C, 'Bird.' A noun is a word that represents a person, place, thing, or idea. In this sentence, 'Bird' is the only word that represents a thing, making it the noun. 'Across' is a preposition indicating location or direction, 'Flew' is a verb showing action, and 'Blue' is an adjective describing the color of the bird. Therefore, 'Bird' is the noun in the sentence.
Question 5 of 5
When a person finds ---------------------in a stressful situation, it helps to breathe deeply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Oneself.' When referring to a singular person in a generic sense, 'oneself' is the appropriate pronoun to use. In the context of the sentence, it conveys the idea that taking deep breaths can be beneficial for an individual facing stress. Using 'yourself' (B) would imply a specific person, 'themselves' (C) is plural and does not match the singular 'person,' and 'itself' (D) does not correctly refer to a person.
