Grammar for HESI A2 Questions

Question 1 of 5

Select the phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct: I hope that my parents ___________ if I am able to graduate early.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: "will be delighted." The sentence is in future tense, so the verb "to be" should also be in the future tense to maintain grammatical consistency. "Will be delighted" indicates a future event (graduating early) that will lead to the parents being delighted. The other choices are incorrect because they do not align with the future tense context of the sentence. A: "are delighted" is present tense, B: "were delighted" is past tense, and D: "will have been delighted" is unnecessarily complex and does not fit the sentence structure.

Question 2 of 5

Select the phrase or clause that is misplaced in the following sentence: I noticed a number of workers from my car window who were repairing the road alongside the mall.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: "of workers." This phrase is misplaced because it should directly follow "noticed" to maintain proper sentence structure. The phrase "a number of workers" should be placed immediately after "noticed" to clearly indicate what was noticed. The other choices (B, C, D) are not misplaced as they are correctly positioned within the sentence and do not disrupt the flow or meaning.

Question 3 of 5

Select the word in the following sentence that is not used correctly. Try not to lose patience or suffer a drop in morale.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: lose. In the sentence, "Try not to lose patience or suffer a drop in morale," the word "lose" is used incorrectly because you don't "lose" patience; you "run out of" or "lack" patience. The word "lose" implies misplacing something physical, not an abstract concept like patience. The other choices (B: patience, C: suffer, D: morale) are used correctly in the sentence as they convey the intended meaning without any grammatical errors.

Question 4 of 5

Which word is used incorrectly in the following sentence? She is already an adjunct at a college in Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: college. In the sentence, "college" is used incorrectly because Raleigh is the capital of North Carolina, not the location of a college. The correct term should be "university" or the specific name of the college. "Already" is used correctly to indicate that she is currently an adjunct. "Adjunct" is also used correctly to describe her role. "Capital" is used correctly to indicate the city's significance as the capital of North Carolina.

Question 5 of 5

Select the phrase or clause that is misplaced in the following sentence. With torn pages, I returned the book I'd just bought to the store.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. "With torn pages" is misplaced because it should be closer to the noun it modifies, which is "the book." Placing it at the beginning of the sentence creates confusion as it seems to modify the subject, "I," instead. The phrase should be placed immediately after "the book" for clarity. Choices B, C, and D are not misplaced in the sentence as they are in the correct order and maintain the logical flow of the sentence.
