HESI A2 Version 1 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
What sentence should replace the following incorrect sentence? 'This door to remain unlocked when occupied.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The original sentence 'This door to remain unlocked when occupied.' is the correct way to indicate that the door should be unlocked when occupied. The sentence is written in a passive voice to convey the instruction clearly and concisely, making it the correct choice without the need for any replacement.
Question 2 of 5
Which sentence is grammatically correct?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. In this sentence, the subject pronoun should be 'He' rather than 'Him,' 'Himself,' or 'His.' 'He' is the correct subject pronoun to use when referring to the subject in this context, making the sentence grammatically correct. When referring to the subject along with another person, 'He' is the appropriate subject pronoun to use, as it is the subjective pronoun for the third-person singular masculine gender. Therefore, 'He and my brother were at the concert last night' is the grammatically correct sentence.
Question 3 of 5
Select the word or phrase in the sentence that is not used correctly: 'The teacher let the students know that they would have 1 hour to complete the test.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. 'To know' is incorrectly used here; it should be 'know' without the preposition 'to.' The verb 'let' is followed by the base form of the verb, not the infinitive form. Therefore, the sentence should read, 'The teacher let the students know that they would have 1 hour to complete the test.'
Question 4 of 5
Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct: 'The student was very proud of ____ when he aced the test.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'himself.' In this sentence, 'himself' is the reflexive pronoun that correctly completes the sentence. Reflexive pronouns like 'himself' are used when the subject and object of a sentence refer to the same person or thing. Therefore, the sentence should be: 'The student was very proud of himself when he aced the test.'
Question 5 of 5
Which sentence is grammatically correct?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. In this sentence, "Its" is used correctly as the possessive form, indicating ownership of the plastic eye. In option B, "it's" is incorrectly used instead of the possessive "its." In option C, "It's" is incorrectly used as a contraction for "it is" .In option D, "it's" is again incorrectly used for possession, which should be "its." Thus, option A is the only grammatically correct sentence.
