HESI A2 Version 3 Grammar Questions
Question 1 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'.
Question 2 of 5
Coffee experts feel that the best coffee blend is a dark blend.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Best.' In this sentence, the superlative form 'best' should be used to describe the highest quality coffee blend. 'More great' in choice A is incorrect because 'great' already implies superiority. 'Great' in choice B is not the superlative form needed in this context. 'Greatest' in choice D is not the appropriate choice as 'best' is the superlative form of 'good' and 'great'. Therefore, 'best' is the most suitable choice to convey the idea that the dark blend is of the highest quality among all coffee blends.
Question 3 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 4 of 5
Select the word or phrase in the sentence that is not used correctly: The data confirms that the patient is suffering from extreme anxiety, and a tranquilizing medication is immediately required.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The word 'confirms' is not used correctly in the sentence. 'Confirms' should be followed by 'that' to link the subject 'data' with the verb 'confirms.' The corrected sentence should read: 'The data confirms that the patient is suffering from extreme anxiety, and a tranquilizing medication is immediately required.' This change ensures proper grammar and sentence structure.
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.' This phrase is used to show contrast or opposition between attending the party and disliking the host. 'Despite of' is incorrect as 'despite' already includes the notion of 'of.' 'Even though' and 'Although' are not suitable in this context as they are typically used to introduce a clause that contrasts with the main clause, not to indicate an action taken despite a specific circumstance.
