HESI A2 Version 3 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following sentences is INCOMPLETE?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: An incomplete sentence lacks a subject, verb, or complete thought. In this case, choice B, 'While the band played,' is incomplete as it doesn't express a complete idea on its own and is a dependent clause. It requires additional information to form a complete sentence. The other options are complete sentences with subjects (e.g., 'We,' 'The band,' 'Everyone'), verbs (e.g., 'sat,' 'played,' 'enjoyed'), and complete thoughts, making them complete sentences that can stand alone.
Question 2 of 5
Which word in the sentence is NOT grammatically correct? Their are 3 things to remember for the test: Vocabulary, Grammar, and Spelling
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The word 'their' in the sentence is incorrect. The correct word should be 'there,' which refers to a place or location. 'Their' is a possessive pronoun indicating belonging to a group of people. So, the sentence should read: 'There are 3 things to remember for the test: Vocabulary, Grammar, and Spelling.'
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
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 of the following sentences is GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. In this sentence, 'smell sweetly' is the correct adverb usage to describe how the air will smell due to the scented candles. The other options contain grammar errors or inconsistencies that make them incorrect. Option A has a pronoun agreement error ('their' should be 'his or her'). Option B and C are grammatically correct but do not represent the best choice according to the question's instructions.
