HESI A2 Version 4 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
You ----------- on your final exam.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Did well.' In this context, the question is asking about your performance on the final exam. 'Did well' is the appropriate phrase to indicate that you performed satisfactorily. Choices A and B are incorrect as they do not fit the context. Choice D, 'Did good,' is grammatically incorrect; the correct adverb form to modify the verb 'did' is 'well,' not 'good.'
Question 2 of 5
Which phrase in the following sentence is grammatically incorrect? The patient asked to choose ate items from the menu that are his favorites
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'ate items' as the original sentence is grammatically incorrect due to the misspelling of 'ate' instead of 'eight.' The sentence should read 'eight items' to indicate the number of items the patient is asked to choose. It is important to use the correct numerical term to avoid confusion and accurately convey the message.
Question 3 of 5
Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence: The salutation of a formal letter is often to ______ it may concern.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'whom.' In this context, 'whom' is the appropriate pronoun to use as it is the objective form of 'who' and follows the preposition 'to' in the sentence. 'Whom' is used when referring to the object of a verb or preposition, making it the correct choice to complete the sentence.
Question 4 of 5
Which sentence is grammatically correct?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Choice A is the correct answer because it uses the singular 'his or her' to match the singular subject 'Somebody.' Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they use mismatched pronouns with their subjects. In choice B, 'Several' is plural, so it should use 'their' instead of 'his.' In choices C and D, the singular subject 'everyone' traditionally requires 'his or her' instead of 'their.'
Question 5 of 5
The student sang well, but she danced ____.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this sentence, 'danced' is a verb and requires an adverb to describe how the action was performed. The correct adverb form to modify the verb 'danced' is 'badly,' indicating the manner in which she danced. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Badly.'
