HESI A2 Version 4 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
The child cried, 'I want to do it-----------------.'
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In this sentence, the pronoun that should follow 'do it' is reflexive, indicating the action is done by the subject to the subject. 'Myself' is the correct reflexive pronoun here. 'Mine' is a possessive pronoun, 'Me' is incorrect as it should be in its reflexive form, and 'Me self' is not a valid pronoun construction.
Question 2 of 5
Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence: '_______ is my favorite black dress.'
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'That.' In the sentence, 'That is my favorite black dress,' 'That' is used to refer to a singular object that is close in proximity. 'This here' is colloquial and not suitable for formal writing, making it incorrect in this context. 'Those' is plural and does not agree with the singular noun 'dress.' 'Where' is used to denote a location or position, which is not suitable for describing a dress. Therefore, 'That' is the most appropriate word choice to complete the sentence.
Question 3 of 5
Children generally --------------- with others of the same size and age.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Play.' In this sentence, 'children' is the subject, which is a plural noun. Therefore, the verb should also be in the plural form, which is 'play.' The correct sentence would be 'Children generally play with others of the same size and age.' The verb 'play' agrees with the plural subject 'children,' making it the appropriate choice in this context.
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
The student sang well, but she danced ____.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this sentence, 'danced' is a verb and requires an adverb to describe how the action was performed. The correct adverb form to modify the verb 'danced' is 'badly,' indicating the manner in which she danced. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Badly.'
