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 in the sentence is NOT grammatically correct? 'There are 3 things to remember for the test: Vocabulary, Grammar, and Spelling.'
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C - There.' The original sentence mistakenly uses 'Their' instead of 'There.' 'Their' is a possessive pronoun, while 'There' is used to indicate a place or the existence of something. The corrected sentence should read, 'There are 3 things to remember for the test: Vocabulary, Grammar, and Spelling.'
Question 3 of 5
Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence: He thought it was ___ than 3 miles to the hospital.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Less'. In the sentence, the comparison is made with an uncountable noun (miles), so 'less' is the appropriate term to use. 'Further' indicates a greater distance, 'Fewer' is reserved for countable items, and 'Bigger' describes size, none of which correctly fit the context of the sentence.
Question 4 of 5
Coffee experts feel that the best coffee blend is a dark blend.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Best.' In this sentence, the superlative form 'best' should be used to describe the highest quality coffee blend. 'More great' in choice A is incorrect because 'great' already implies superiority. 'Great' in choice B is not the superlative form needed in this context. 'Greatest' in choice D is not the appropriate choice as 'best' is the superlative form of 'good' and 'great'. Therefore, 'best' is the most suitable choice to convey the idea that the dark blend is of the highest quality among all coffee blends.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following sentences is INCOMPLETE?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: An incomplete sentence lacks a subject, verb, or complete thought. In this case, choice B, 'While the band played,' is incomplete as it doesn't express a complete idea on its own and is a dependent clause. It requires additional information to form a complete sentence. The other options are complete sentences with subjects (e.g., 'We,' 'The band,' 'Everyone'), verbs (e.g., 'sat,' 'played,' 'enjoyed'), and complete thoughts, making them complete sentences that can stand alone.
