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
The doctor made an error with the medication, so the doctor.............. notes about it in the patient's file.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. In the sentence, the doctor 'made' notes about the error in the patient's file. 'Made' is the appropriate verb to indicate that the doctor created or wrote down the notes. Choices A, B, and C do not fit grammatically or contextually in the given sentence. It is essential to choose the correct verb that aligns with the action performed, and in this case, 'made' is the most suitable option.
Question 3 of 5
Everyone thought that was the ........................ test of the whole course.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this sentence, the superlative form 'easiest' should be used to compare the test to all other tests in the course. 'Most easiest' is incorrect because 'easiest' already implies the highest degree of ease. 'Easy' is incorrect as it is not a comparative form. 'Most easy' is also incorrect as it does not convey the comparison needed in the context. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Easiest.'
Question 4 of 5
What is the appropriate salutation for this address?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A salutation is a formal greeting used before a person's name or title. In this case, 'Mr.' is the correct salutation to use before addressing someone. Salutations like 'Mr.,' 'Ms.,' 'Mrs.,' or 'Dr.' are commonly used before a person's name to show respect and formality.
Question 5 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.
