HESI A2 Version 3 Grammar Questions

Question 1 of 5

What is the correct contraction for 'They are'?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct contraction for 'They are' is 'They're.' Contractions are formed by combining pronouns and verbs to represent speech more informally. In this case, 'They're' is the appropriate contraction for 'They are.' 'Their' (choice A) is a possessive pronoun, not a contraction. 'The're' (choice C) contains a typo and is not a valid contraction. 'No contraction used' (choice D) is incorrect as a contraction does exist for 'They are,' which is 'They're.' Therefore, the correct answer is B.

Question 2 of 5

You should always do the right thing.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The phrase 'do the right thing' implies taking morally correct actions. In this context, 'right' is the correct choice, making the sentence coherent and meaningful. 'Always,' 'do,' and 'should' do not fit the context as they do not convey the intended meaning of acting morally. Therefore, option C, 'Right,' is the correct answer.

Question 3 of 5

Children depend on their parents for food, clothing, and shelter.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The preposition 'on' is used to indicate reliance or dependence. In this sentence, children depend 'on' their parents for food, clothing, and shelter, making choice B the correct answer. When using the verb 'depend,' it is followed by the preposition 'on' to show what or whom someone relies on.

Question 4 of 5

Arrange the following four words in alphabetical order.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct alphabetical order is 'Assemble, assembled, assembling, assembly.' When alphabetizing words, you compare the first letters of each word. In this case, 'Assemble' comes first, followed by 'assembled,' 'assembling,' and 'assembly.' Therefore, option A is the correct arrangement.

Question 5 of 5

Which of the following is a direct object (affected by the verb) in the sentence 'The nurse helped the patient with the medication'?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, the nurse is the subject, 'helped' is the verb, and the patient is the direct object. The direct object receives the action of the verb. In this case, the patient is directly affected by the action of being helped. Identifying the direct object involves asking 'who' or 'what' is being affected by the action of the verb. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Patient'.
