HESI A2 Version 3 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which word is used incorrectly? "The procedure for training student nurses were thoroughly outlined."
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. The subject 'procedure' is singular, so the verb 'were' should be 'was' to match the singular subject. Therefore, the correct sentence should be: 'Which procedure for giving injections was explained thoroughly to the student nurses.' The other words in the sentence are used correctly.
Question 2 of 5
Which phrase is used incorrectly in the sentence? He ate for pieces of fried chicken at dinner, and no vegetables.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The corrected sentence should read, 'He ate four pieces of fried chicken at dinner, and no vegetables.' The original question had the correct number 'four,'.
Question 3 of 5
Which word is NOT USED CORRECTLY in the sentence: They're going to the mall to pick up their uniforms for their coach?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The word 'there' in the sentence is used incorrectly. 'There' should be 'their' to indicate possession. 'There' refers to a place or location, while 'their' shows ownership. In this sentence, 'their' is correctly used to indicate that the uniforms belong to the individuals. Therefore, 'There' is the word that is not used correctly in the sentence.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse made an error with the medication, so the doctor made notes about it in the patient's file.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In the given sentence, the correct choice is 'made' as it fits the sentence structure appropriately. The sentence requires a verb to show the action taken by the doctor after the nurse's error. 'Made' is the correct past tense form of the verb 'make' in this context, indicating that the doctor took the action of writing notes in the patient's file. The other choices do not provide a suitable verb to complete the sentence effectively.
Question 5 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.'
