HESI A2 Version 5 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which word is NOT CORRECTLY USED in the sentence? "Confidentiality be observed at all times when handling sensitive information."
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. The sentence should read, 'Confidentiality should be observed at all times,' to ensure proper grammar. 'Be observed' is incorrect as it lacks the modal auxiliary verb 'should' for the sentence to be grammatically correct. The other choices are correctly used in the sentence.
Question 2 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 3 of 5
Select the word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct: After waking up, Dean eyed the cheesecake.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C, 'hungrily.' In this sentence, 'hungrily' is an adverb that correctly describes how Dean eyed the cheesecake after waking up. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, and in this context, 'hungrily' provides additional information about how Dean was looking at the cheesecake. The word 'hungry' (choice A) is an adjective and does not fit the sentence structure. 'Hungriest' (choice B) is a superlative form of 'hungry' and is also incorrect in this context. 'More hungry' (choice D) is not the appropriate form to modify the action of 'eyed,' making it grammatically incorrect.
Question 4 of 5
Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct: The hospital is located at the top ________ the hill.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In this context, the correct preposition to use is 'of.' When referring to a location at the top of a hill, 'of' is the appropriate preposition to indicate the relationship between the hospital and the hill. The preposition 'of' shows a connection or possession between the hospital and the hill. Therefore, the correct choice is 'of.'
Question 5 of 5
Select the correct word for the blank in the following sentence. Sharon felt _______ about how her speech had gone.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct word to fill in the blank in the sentence 'Sharon felt _______ about how her speech had gone' is 'good.' In this context, 'good' is used to describe Sharon's feelings about her speech. 'Well' is an adverb that describes how an action is done, not a feeling. 'Finely' means in a delicate or subtle way, which is not appropriate here as it does not convey Sharon's emotions. 'Happily' refers to feeling joy or pleasure, which does not accurately capture how Sharon felt about her speech in this context.
