Grammar HESI A2 Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Select the word or phrase that will make the sentence grammatically correct. The village is not very far _________ the railway station.
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.
Question 2 of 5
Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of the sentence? You will need counsel if you are accused of a serious crime.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Correct Answer: A (counsel) Rationale: 1. The correct spelling of "counsel" in this context refers to legal advice. 2. "Council" refers to a group of people or an assembly, not relevant here. 3. "Consul" refers to a government representative, also not applicable. 4. "Counsel" is the appropriate spelling for legal advice. 5. Choices B, C, and D are spelled correctly and are relevant to the sentence's context.
Question 3 of 5
Which word is not spelled correctly? The government official was grateful to receive that award.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: government. The word "government" is misspelled as "goverment" in the sentence given. The correct spelling should have an "n" after the "g." The other choices (B: official, C: grateful, D: receive) are all spelled correctly. "Official," "grateful," and "receive" are all spelled as they should be in the sentence. It is important to pay attention to spelling details to ensure clear communication.
Question 4 of 5
Which word is used incorrectly in the following sentence? Professor Turnbull will apprise us of the correct procedure for submitting our work.
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.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following words or phrases fits best in the sentence below? Derek insists on working out daily ___________ his time is limited.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: despite. In the sentence, "despite" is used to show contrast between Derek's insistence on working out daily and his limited time. This conjunction indicates that Derek continues to work out daily even though his time is limited. Incorrect Choices: B: due to - This phrase implies a cause-and-effect relationship, indicating that Derek works out daily because his time is limited, which does not align with the context of the sentence. C: even if - This phrase suggests a hypothetical situation rather than the actual contrast presented in the sentence. D: whereas - This conjunction is used to draw a comparison between two different things, which is not the intended meaning in the sentence.
