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
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
Which word best fills in the blank? If they ______ that the weather was going to be so bad, they wouldn’t have gone to the beach.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In this sentence, we are talking about a past condition that did not happen. The correct structure to express this type of situation is the third conditional, which uses the past perfect in the if-clause (had known) and would have + past participle in the main clause (wouldn't have gone). Therefore, the correct answer is 'C: Had known.' This choice correctly conveys the idea that if they had known about the bad weather in advance, they would not have gone to the beach.
Question 4 of 5
As we celebrated the start of the evening festivities, our glasses ------------ and a toast was made by our host.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Were raised.' In this context, the phrase 'our glasses were raised' is a common expression used to signify a toast or a celebratory gesture of raising glasses before drinking. 'Were rose' (B) is incorrect grammatically as 'rose' is the past tense of 'rise' and not 'raise.' 'Were risen' (A) is also incorrect. Choice (D) 'Arose' is not the appropriate form for this passive construction. Therefore, 'Were raised' is the correct choice.
Question 5 of 5
She went to the party ______ her dislike for the host.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'In spite of.' 'Despite' and 'In spite of' are used without 'of' after them. In this context, 'In spite of' is the appropriate choice to indicate that she attended the party despite her dislike for the host.
