HESI A2 Grammar Practice Test 2024

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: break. In this sentence, the word needed to go after "long" should be a noun, and "break" is a noun meaning a pause or period of rest after a difficult task. "Brake" refers to a device for slowing or stopping a vehicle, not suitable in this context. "Brink" means the edge of something, not fitting here. "Broke" is the past tense of break, making it grammatically incorrect in this sentence.

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.

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: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: avoid. In the sentence, "avoid" is the most suitable word to convey the idea of not being able to escape or prevent learning how to use a computer. "Not" (A) and "despite" (C) are not appropriate in this context. "Evading" (B) does not fit grammatically or semantically. The word "avoid" is the only choice that accurately completes the sentence and maintains its intended meaning.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because it correctly uses the participial phrase "Walking home from class" to modify the subject "the students." This structure indicates that the students were walking home while watching the snow begin to fall. The other choices incorrectly use different verb forms or do not effectively connect the action of walking home with the snow falling. Choice B incorrectly suggests that the snow is actively falling on the students while they are walking home. Choice C lacks a clear connection between the students walking home and the snow falling. Choice D does not effectively link the action of the students watching the snow fall with them walking home.
