HESI A2 Version 3 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which sentence is NOT GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Choice B is not grammatically correct. The correct conjunction to use in this context is 'then' to indicate the sequence of actions. 'Than' is used for making comparisons between things. The sentence should read: 'The nurse decided to bathe the client, then trim his nails.' Choices A, C, and D are all grammatically correct sentences.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse made an error with the medication, so the doctor made notes about it in the patient's file.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In the given sentence, the correct choice is 'made' as it fits the sentence structure appropriately. The sentence requires a verb to show the action taken by the doctor after the nurse's error. 'Made' is the correct past tense form of the verb 'make' in this context, indicating that the doctor took the action of writing notes in the patient's file. The other choices do not provide a suitable verb to complete the sentence effectively.
Question 3 of 5
After throwing their sleeping bags into the backseat of their car, they...............more than 400 miles to reach their destination.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In this sentence, the verb should be in the past tense to maintain consistency. 'Drove' is the correct past tense form of the verb 'drive' to complete the sentence. The action of driving the 400 miles occurred after throwing their sleeping bags into the backseat, so the past tense 'drove' is the appropriate choice.
Question 4 of 5
Which word is used incorrectly in the sentence? The man's heart attack scared him badly, and he decided to having a regular check-up from then on.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the corrected sentence, 'having' is the correct choice. The original sentence is grammatically incorrect as it uses the gerund 'having' incorrectly. The correct structure should be 'he decided to have a regular check-up' to show the intended action of getting a check-up regularly after the heart attack.
Question 5 of 5
What word is used incorrectly in this sentence: The six students in the class discussed the test results among themselves?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Among.' The word 'between' should be used instead of 'among' when discussing the relationship or distribution between two distinct groups or individuals. In this context, 'between themselves' should be used to indicate that the discussion was limited to the six students in the class.
