HESI A2 Version 3 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
You should always do the right thing.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The phrase 'do the right thing' implies taking morally correct actions. In this context, 'right' is the correct choice, making the sentence coherent and meaningful. 'Always,' 'do,' and 'should' do not fit the context as they do not convey the intended meaning of acting morally. Therefore, option C, 'Right,' is the correct answer.
Question 2 of 5
The shopper was angry when he realized he..................it cheaper at the other store.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In this sentence, the correct form to use after 'could have' is the past participle form of the verb, 'gotten.' 'Got' is incorrect in this context. 'Might have got' is incorrect as 'might' is used for less certain situations, whereas 'could have gotten' is the correct choice for expressing a past possibility that the item was available cheaper at another store.
Question 3 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 4 of 5
What is the correct past tense form of the verb to use in the sentence 'I.................the package on the table.'?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Laid.' The verb 'lay' is in the present tense, while 'laid' is the past tense form. In the given sentence, the action of placing the package on the table has already occurred, so 'laid' is the correct past tense form to use. Therefore, the sentence should read 'I laid the package on the table.'
Question 5 of 5
Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence: I will ___ that chart to the patientā€™s room later today.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Take.' In this context, 'take' is the most appropriate choice as it indicates moving something to another location. The sentence implies that the person will transfer the chart to the patientā€™s room, which aligns with the meaning of 'take' when referring to moving objects from one place to another.
