HESI A2 Grammar Practice Test 2024

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: badly. In this sentence, the word 'but' indicates a contrast between singing and dancing. 'Badly' is the appropriate adverb to describe the contrast in performance quality between the two activities. Choice A, 'badly,' is the correct adverb form for describing the quality of dancing in this context. Choice C, 'poorly,' is not the best fit as it is more commonly used to describe overall performance rather than a specific activity. Choice D, 'poorer,' is incorrect as it is a comparative form and does not fit the structure of the sentence.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: good. In this context, 'good' is used to describe Sharon's feelings about her speech's outcome. The word 'well' would describe her own state of being, not her feelings about the speech. 'Finely' is not commonly used to describe emotions. 'Happily' refers to her emotional state, not specifically how she felt about her speech. Therefore, 'good' is the most appropriate choice to convey Sharon's sentiment about her speech.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: among. In the sentence, the word "among" should be replaced with "between" because "between" is used for comparing two things, while "among" is used for comparing more than two things. The sentence is comparing two treatment protocols, so "between" is the appropriate word. A: The word "real" is used correctly in the sentence to emphasize that there is no actual distinction between the treatment protocols. C: The word "protocols" is used correctly to refer to the specific sets of guidelines or rules for the treatments. D: The word "online" is used correctly to specify that the recommended treatment protocols are found on the internet.

Rationale: The correct answer is B: badly. In this sentence, the word 'but' indicates a contrast between singing and dancing. 'Badly' is the appropriate adverb to describe the contrast in performance quality between the two activities. Choice A, 'badly,' is the correct adverb form for describing the quality of dancing in this context.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: him. In this sentence, 'him' is the objective pronoun used to indicate the person being asked to take her to the drugstore. 'Him' functions as the direct object of the verb 'asked.' The other choices (B: his, C: he, D: his') are incorrect because 'his' is a possessive pronoun, 'he' is a subjective pronoun, and 'his'' is an incorrect form of the possessive pronoun. Thus, 'him' is the only choice that fits the grammatical structure of the sentence as the object of the verb 'asked.'
