HESI A2 Version 5 Grammar Questions

Question 1 of 5

Which word in the following sentence is the subject? The nurses went to the conference room.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: In a sentence, the subject is the noun or pronoun that performs the action of the verb. In this sentence, 'nurses' is the subject as they are the ones performing the action of going to the conference room. The other choices, 'conference', 'went to', and 'room' do not act as the subject because they do not perform the action of the verb.

Question 2 of 5

Select the word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct: Our screaming took the shopkeeper by surprise.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: In the given sentence, 'Our' is the correct possessive pronoun to use. The sentence implies that the screaming, which belongs to 'us,' surprised the shopkeeper. Therefore, 'Our' is the appropriate choice to maintain grammatical correctness and coherence in this context.

Question 3 of 5

Select the word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct: Why did we ........... try so hard?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: have to.' The sentence is in the past tense ('did'), so the correct phrase should also be in the past. 'Have to' is the past form of 'have to,' making the sentence grammatically correct: 'Why did we have to try so hard?' This construction indicates a necessity or obligation in the past.

Question 4 of 5

Select the word or phrase that will make the sentence grammatically correct: _______ thought the movie was very good.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'we.' The sentence should read 'We thought the movie was very good.' 'We' is the subject pronoun that agrees with the verb 'thought' in this sentence, providing the correct subject-verb agreement.

Question 5 of 5

Select the correct word for the blank in the following sentence: The dog wagged ______ tail when the food dish was filled.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In the given sentence, the possessive pronoun 'its' is required to indicate that the tail belongs to the dog. The word 'the' (choice A) is a definite article, 'one's' (choice B) is a possessive pronoun used for a person, and 'it's' (choice D) is a contraction of 'it is' or 'it has,' which is not suitable in this context. Therefore, the correct answer is 'C: its.'
