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
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 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 correct?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The only grammatically correct sentence among the options is sentence A, 'Which of the following sentences is grammatically correct?' This sentence is correctly structured and does not contain any grammatical errors. Options B, C, and D contain errors related to the usage of 'further' and 'farther.' 'Further' is used to refer to something figurative or metaphorical, while 'farther' is used for physical distances. Therefore, sentences B, C, and D have incorrect usage of 'further' or 'farther,' making them grammatically incorrect. In sentence B, 'farther' should be used as it refers to a physical distance. Likewise, in sentences C and D, 'further' should be replaced with 'farther' to indicate a physical distance. Understanding the distinction between 'further' and 'farther' is essential for using these words correctly in written and spoken English.
Question 5 of 5
Which phrase is used incorrectly in the sentence? What are the most important things in my life: making money, traveling abroad, and to live well.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'To live' because in the original sentence, the proper phrasing should be 'living well' instead of 'to live well.' When listing important things in one's life, it is more appropriate to use gerunds ('making' money, 'traveling' abroad, 'living' well) rather than infinitives. This structure better conveys actions or activities that are priorities or essential to the individual.
