HESI A2 Version 3 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which word is NOT GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The word 'library' is grammatically incorrect in this context. It should be 'librarian' instead of 'library.' 'Library' refers to a place, while 'librarian' refers to a person who works in a library. The other options ('An,' 'As,' 'During') are all grammatically correct words.
Question 2 of 5
Which word is NOT USED CORRECTLY in the sentence below?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The word 'ain't' is a colloquial term and is considered informal. To improve the sentence's formality, 'ain't' should be replaced with 'isn't.' The corrected sentence would be: 'It sure isn't going to rain during the next playoff.' 'During,' 'sure,' and 'playoff' are all used correctly in the context of the sentence. In formal writing or speech, it is recommended to avoid using 'ain't' as it is considered nonstandard English.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following sentences is grammatically incorrect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this question, we are looking for the sentence that is grammatically incorrect. The correct answer is B, 'He performed good on the test.' The word 'good' is an adjective, but in this context, we need an adverb to describe how he performed. The correct form is 'well,' which is an adverb describing the verb 'performed.' Therefore, the sentence should be 'He performed well on the test.' Choices A, C, and D are all grammatically correct sentences.
Question 4 of 5
During the fight, I was hit on the..............
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In this sentence, the correct preposition to use after 'hit' is 'on,' and the correct noun to follow is 'head.' Therefore, the correct phrase is 'hit on the head.' The article 'a' is not required before 'head' in this context. It is a common expression to say someone was hit 'on the head' to indicate the location of impact.
Question 5 of 5
In which sentence is the word fast used as an adverb?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In sentence D, 'fast' is used as an adverb to describe how the cars moved, indicating speed. An adverb modifies a verb and usually ends in -ly, but 'fast' is an irregular adverb that does not require an -ly ending. In this context, 'fast' answers the question of how the cars moved on the overpass.
