Grammar HESI A2 Practice Test

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: will be certified. 1. Future tense: "will be certified" indicates a future action after passing the exam. 2. Passive voice: "will be certified" correctly conveys that the students will receive certification. 3. Consistency: The sentence structure requires a future verb form to maintain grammatical correctness. 4. Incorrect choices: - A: being certified (incorrect tense) - B: have been certified (incorrect tense) - D: are certifying (incorrect tense and active voice)

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: appraise. The word "appraise" means to assess the value or quality of something, usually referring to objects or property. In the given sentence, the intended meaning is to inform or notify, which aligns with the word "apprise." Therefore, "appraise" is used incorrectly. The other choices (B, C, D) are all used correctly in the sentence, as they are all relevant and accurately convey their intended meanings within the context provided.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: coarse. In the context of the sentence, "coarse" should be spelled with an "a" instead of an "e" as in "course." The word "coarse" refers to the texture of the flour, indicating it is rough or granular. The incorrect spelling "coarse" does not align with the intended meaning of the sentence. The other choices, "rolled," "flour," and "herbs," are all spelled correctly and are appropriate in the context provided.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: from. In this sentence, we need a preposition that indicates the distance between the village and the railway station. "From" is the correct preposition to use when indicating distance between two locations. The sentence should read "The village is not very far from the railway station." A: "to" is incorrect because it implies movement towards the railway station, not distance. C: "by" is incorrect as it suggests proximity or method of transportation, not distance. D: "next" is incorrect as it indicates immediate adjacency, not distance between the village and the railway station.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: they. In the sentence, "the students" is plural, so the pronoun should also be plural to maintain subject-verb agreement. "They" is the appropriate pronoun to refer to "the students." Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because "them," "him," and "those" are not appropriate pronouns to refer to a plural subject like "students."
