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

Which word or phrase 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. The subject is typically the entity that the sentence is about or that performs the main action. In this sentence, 'nurses' is the subject as they are the ones performing the action of going to the conference room. 'Nurses' is a plural noun that acts as the subject, making choice D the correct answer.

Question 3 of 5

Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct: Theo was in great shape; he ___ all the way back to the pier.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: In this sentence, the correct past tense form of the verb 'swim' is 'swam.' 'Swimmed' (Choice B) is not a valid past tense form of the verb. 'Swum' (Choice C) is the past participle form of 'swim' and does not fit in this context. 'Swim' (Choice D) is the base form of the verb and does not convey the past action correctly. Therefore, the correct choice is 'swam,' indicating that Theo already completed the action of swimming back to the pier in the past.

In this sentence, 'us' is the correct pronoun to use as it functions as the object of the preposition 'with.' The pronoun 'us' is required to complete the sentence and make it grammatically correct.

Question 5 of 5
