HESI A2 Version 3 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following sentences is grammatically correct?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. This sentence is grammatically correct as it uses the conjunction 'because' to connect two clauses properly. 'Because the patient could walk' is a dependent clause, and 'he was allowed to leave his room' is an independent clause. Option A is incorrect because it lacks a conjunction to connect the two subjects correctly. Option B is a sentence fragment without a main clause. Option C is incorrect due to the misuse of commas to separate the subjects; it should use 'and' to list the subjects properly. Therefore, Option D is the only grammatically correct sentence among the choices.
Question 2 of 5
My sister gave the chocolate bar to my friend and.................
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this sentence, 'me' is the correct pronoun to use. When a pronoun is the object of a verb, as in this case ('gave to my friend and me'), 'me' is the appropriate choice. 'Myself' is a reflexive pronoun and is not suitable in this context. 'Us' is incorrect because the pronoun should be in the objective case. 'We' is incorrect as it is a subject pronoun, not an object pronoun, which is needed in this sentence.
Question 3 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 4 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 5 of 5
After robbing the bank, where did the thief hide?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: After committing a crime like robbing a bank, it is common for the criminal to seek a safe place to hide. Choosing to hide at a friend's house would be a logical choice, as it may provide temporary refuge and a familiar environment to avoid capture by the authorities. This option aligns with typical behaviors of criminals seeking shelter and assistance from someone they trust during times of distress or legal trouble.
