HESI A2 Grammar Practice Test Questions

Question 1 of 5

Select the word that makes the following sentence grammatically correct. The hockey team ___________ traveling to Albany for the semifinals.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: is. In this sentence, "hockey team" is a singular noun, so it requires a singular verb. "Is" is the singular form of the verb "to be," making the sentence grammatically correct. Choice B: are is plural and does not agree with the singular subject. Choice C: be is not the correct form of the verb "to be" for this sentence. Choice D: were is past tense and does not match the present tense of the sentence.

Question 2 of 5

Which word is used incorrectly in the following sentence? Jack practices piano while Sidney studies for the exam.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: study. In the sentence, "study" should be "studies" to match the singular subject Sidney. The verb should agree with the subject in number, so it should be "Sidney studies for the exam." A: "practices" is correct as it agrees with the subject Jack. B: "while" is used correctly as a conjunction to show simultaneous actions. D: "exam" is used correctly as the object of the preposition "for."

Question 3 of 5

Select the word that will make the following sentence grammatically correct. Do not be afraid to consult ___________ your peers.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: with. In this sentence, "consult with" is the correct phrasal verb to use when seeking advice or input from peers. The preposition "with" is commonly used in this context to indicate collaboration or communication. The other options, such as "from," "by," and "in," do not convey the same meaning of actively seeking advice together with peers. "From" implies a one-way transfer, "by" suggests agency or method, and "in" does not fit the context of consulting peers. Selecting "with" ensures grammatical accuracy and clarity in the sentence.

Question 4 of 5

Select the word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct. Miguel and I are waiting to ___________ with the doctor.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: meet. In the sentence, "Miguel and I are waiting to meet with the doctor," the verb "meet" is the correct choice because it follows the infinitive form "to" and maintains subject-verb agreement with the plural subject "Miguel and I." The verb "meet" is in the present tense, which is appropriate in this context. Incorrect Choices: A: "be met" is incorrect because it changes the meaning of the sentence to imply that they are waiting to be met by the doctor. B: "meeting" is incorrect as it functions as a gerund, which doesn't fit the structure of the sentence. C: "met" is incorrect because it is the past tense form of the verb and does not match the present tense context of the sentence.

Question 5 of 5

Select the word or phrase that is misplaced in the following sentence: The book is in my locker at school that is long overdue.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: that is long overdue. This phrase is misplaced because it is modifying "school" instead of "book," creating a confusing and illogical sentence structure. The phrase should directly describe the book, not the school. The other choices (A, B, C) are correctly placed within the sentence and contribute to the overall coherence and clarity of the sentence.
