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
Finishing quickly isnā€™t as important as answering correctly.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In this sentence, 'quickly' is the correct adverb to modify the verb 'finishing.' Adverbs typically end in -ly to modify verbs, while adjectives describe nouns. Therefore, the correct choice is 'D: Quickly.' This ensures that the comparison between finishing and answering is made effectively. Using 'quickly' here emphasizes the manner in which the action is performed, rather than the speed alone, which aligns with the intended meaning of the sentence.
Question 3 of 5
Most children must learn for ......................... the importance of good manners.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Themselves.' In this sentence, 'children' is a plural noun, so the pronoun that should follow it must also be plural. 'Themselves' is the correct reflexive pronoun used to refer back to the plural noun 'children.' It is essential to use the reflexive pronoun 'themselves' to emphasize that each child needs to learn about the importance of good manners.
Question 4 of 5
Select the sentence that is grammatically correct.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'The nurse spoke to my sister and me about our motherā€™s condition.' In this sentence, 'me' is used as the object of the preposition 'to.' When referring to oneself along with others, 'me' should be used instead of 'I.' Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they incorrectly use 'I' instead of the correct 'me,' making them grammatically incorrect.
Question 5 of 5
Which word is used incorrectly in the sentence? The man's heart attack scared him badly, and he decided to having a regular check-up from then on.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the corrected sentence, 'having' is the correct choice. The original sentence is grammatically incorrect as it uses the gerund 'having' incorrectly. The correct structure should be 'he decided to have a regular check-up' to show the intended action of getting a check-up regularly after the heart attack.
