HESI A2 Version 3 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which phrase is NOT USED CORRECTLY? The client’s hospital stay was prolonged do to a superinfection.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct phrase is 'due to' instead of 'do to.' 'Due to' is used to indicate the cause or reason for something. In this case, the client’s hospital stay was prolonged because of a superinfection, making 'due to' the appropriate choice. The incorrect phrase 'do to' is a common error but does not convey the intended meaning in this context.
Question 2 of 5
Arrange the following four words in alphabetical order:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To arrange words in alphabetical order, you need to consider the sequence of the first letters of each word. In this case, 'A' precedes 'E,' 'I,' and 'U.' Therefore, the correct alphabetical order is 'Assemble, assembled, assembling, assembly,' making choice A the correct answer.
Question 3 of 5
In which sentence is the word fast used as an adverb?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In sentence D, 'fast' is used as an adverb to describe how the cars moved, indicating speed. An adverb modifies a verb and usually ends in -ly, but 'fast' is an irregular adverb that does not require an -ly ending. In this context, 'fast' answers the question of how the cars moved on the overpass.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following sentences is grammatically incorrect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this question, we are looking for the sentence that is grammatically incorrect. The correct answer is B, 'He performed good on the test.' The word 'good' is an adjective, but in this context, we need an adverb to describe how he performed. The correct form is 'well,' which is an adverb describing the verb 'performed.' Therefore, the sentence should be 'He performed well on the test.' Choices A, C, and D are all grammatically correct sentences.
Question 5 of 5
Which sentence is NOT GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Choice B is not grammatically correct. The correct conjunction to use in this context is 'then' to indicate the sequence of actions. 'Than' is used for making comparisons between things. The sentence should read: 'The nurse decided to bathe the client, then trim his nails.' Choices A, C, and D are all grammatically correct sentences.
