HESI A2 Version 3 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which sentence uses 'etc.' CORRECTLY?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct usage of 'etc.' is as shown in choice A. 'Etc.' should be placed at the end of a list to signify that there are additional items not explicitly mentioned. In this context, 'etc.' replaces other diseases not listed. Option B is incorrect because it lacks a comma before 'etc.' Option C incorrectly places 'etc.' in the middle of the list, disrupting the flow of the sentence. Option D incorrectly places 'etc.' at the beginning of the list, which is grammatically incorrect. Therefore, choice A is the correct usage of 'etc.' in the sentence provided.
Question 2 of 5
Which phrase is NOT USED CORRECTLY? The client’s hospital stay was prolonged do to a superinfection.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct phrase is 'due to' instead of 'do to.' 'Due to' is used to indicate the cause or reason for something. In this case, the client’s hospital stay was prolonged because of a superinfection, making 'due to' the appropriate choice. The incorrect phrase 'do to' is a common error but does not convey the intended meaning in this context.
Question 3 of 5
Which phrase is used incorrectly in the sentence? What are the most important things in my life: making money, traveling abroad, and to live well.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'To live' because in the original sentence, the proper phrasing should be 'living well' instead of 'to live well.' When listing important things in one's life, it is more appropriate to use gerunds ('making' money, 'traveling' abroad, 'living' well) rather than infinitives. This structure better conveys actions or activities that are priorities or essential to the individual.
Question 4 of 5
What is the correct part of the sentence that needs to be corrected? He went form being skinny to a very strong man.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct phrase in this sentence is 'He went from,' not 'He went form.' The sentence structure is comparing his past state of being skinny to his current state of being a very strong man. 'From' is used to indicate the starting point of the change. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Went form.'
Question 5 of 5
The client's hospital stay was prolonged due to a superinfection.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The phrase 'due to' is correct in this context, indicating the cause or reason for the client's prolonged hospital stay. 'Due to' is the appropriate choice to convey this cause-effect relationship. In this sentence, 'due to' correctly connects the reason (superinfection) to the outcome (prolonged hospital stay). Therefore, the correct answer is A.
