HESI A2 Version 3 Grammar Questions

Question 1 of 5

She went to the party _____ her dislike for the host.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'In spite of.' 'In spite of' is the appropriate phrase to use to indicate that she attended the party despite her dislike for the host. The phrase 'In spite of' is commonly used to express contrast or opposition between two ideas, in this case, attending the party despite not liking the host. 'Although' and 'Even though' are conjunctions used to introduce a contrast or concession, but they are not the best fit in this context. 'Despite' is a preposition that is usually followed by a noun or a gerund, not a clause, making it less suitable in this sentence.

Question 2 of 5

She went to the party _____ her dislike for the host.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'In spite of.' 'In spite of' is the appropriate phrase to use to indicate that she attended the party despite her dislike for the host. The phrase 'In spite of' is commonly used to express contrast or opposition between two ideas, in this case, attending the party despite not liking the host. 'Although' and 'Even though' are conjunctions used to introduce a contrast or concession, but they are not the best fit in this context. 'Despite' is a preposition that is usually followed by a noun or a gerund, not a clause, making it less suitable in this sentence.

Question 3 of 5

Select the sentence with proper subject-verb agreement.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is sentence D, 'Sherri and her cousin were at the County fair this year.' This sentence demonstrates proper subject-verb agreement as 'Sherri and her cousin' is a plural subject, requiring the plural verb 'were.' In sentences A, B, and C, there are subject-verb agreement errors where singular subjects are incorrectly paired with plural verbs ('was' in A, 'is' in B, 'are' in C).

Question 4 of 5

The pack of wolves is running through the forest.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, 'pack' is the subject, which is a singular noun. When a singular noun is the subject, the correct verb form to use is singular as well. Therefore, 'is' is the appropriate verb choice to maintain subject-verb agreement. It matches with the singular subject 'pack,' making the sentence grammatically correct. Hence, 'is' is the correct form of the verb in this sentence.

Question 5 of 5

If I were you, I'd leave now.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Were.' This sentence is a conditional statement in the subjunctive mood, indicating a hypothetical situation. The correct form for the second person singular in the subjunctive mood is 'were.' Therefore, the correct structure should be 'If I were you, I'd leave now.' The use of 'is,' 'be,' or 'was' would be grammatically incorrect in this context.
