HESI A2 Version 5 Grammar Questions

Question 1 of 5

Which word from the following sentence is a noun? The bird flew across the blue sky.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In the sentence provided, a noun is a word used to represent a person, place, thing, or idea. The word 'bird' in the sentence refers to a thing, making it a noun. 'Across' is a preposition, 'flew' is a verb, and 'blue' is an adjective. Therefore, the correct answer is C, 'bird,' as it is a noun representing a thing.

Question 2 of 5

Select the correct word(s) for the blank in the following sentence: The student thought the second test was ______ than the first test.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: In this sentence, the correct comparative form of the adjective 'hard' should be used, which is 'harder.' 'More hard' (choice B) is incorrect, as 'hard' is a one-syllable adjective and should form its comparative by adding '-er.' Choices C and D, 'hardest' and 'most hardest,' are in the superlative form, which is not suitable for comparing two items as in this sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 'harder.'

Question 3 of 5

Which of the following sentences is grammatically incorrect?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because 'good' is an adjective, and in this context, 'well' should be used to describe how someone performed on a test. 'Well' is the adverb form of 'good' when describing performance or behavior. Choices A, C, and D all use adjectives or adverbs appropriately in relation to the verb 'performed.' In this context, 'well' is the correct adverb to describe the performance on a test, while 'good' is used to describe a noun or pronoun.

Question 4 of 5

Select the word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct: Felix was pleased ___ the progress he had made in his program.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: with.' The preposition 'with' is the appropriate choice to express satisfaction in relation to an accomplishment or progress. The sentence should read, 'Felix was pleased with the progress he had made in his program.' Options 'A: among,' 'C: regards,' and 'D: besides' do not fit the context of expressing satisfaction in this sentence.

Question 5 of 5

Select the word that makes the following sentence grammatically correct. These days, you can't learn how to use a computer.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: avoid.' The original sentence is incomplete and incorrect. By selecting 'avoid,' the sentence becomes grammatically correct: 'These days, you canā€™t avoid learning how to use a computer.' This choice provides the necessary verb to complete the sentence meaningfully.
