Grammar for HESI A2

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: him. In this sentence, "him" is the correct pronoun to use as it refers to Luis, who is the person repaying the loan. "Her" and "she" are incorrect as they refer to Jenny, not Luis. "Its" is also incorrect as it is a possessive pronoun used for inanimate objects, not people. Therefore, "him" is the most appropriate choice to maintain grammatical accuracy and coherence in the sentence.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: We. In the sentence, "The staff sergeant and I" are the subjects performing the action of reviewing the records. Therefore, the appropriate pronoun to replace "The staff sergeant and I" is "We." Choice A: Us is incorrect as it is an object pronoun and does not work as the subject of the sentence. Choice C: They is incorrect as it refers to a group of people other than the staff sergeant and I. Choice D: He is incorrect as it only represents one person, not the group of the staff sergeant and I.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: envelope. In the sentence, the word "envelope" is used incorrectly as it does not fit the context of the sentence. The sentence is asking for a folder to be given to the person who replies to the page, not an envelope. The other choices (A, C, D) are used correctly in the sentence and are essential to convey the intended meaning. "Give" is the verb indicating the action, "whoever" is the pronoun referring to an unspecified person, and "replies" is the verb indicating the action that the person needs to do to receive the folder.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: nevertheless. In this sentence, "nevertheless" is used to contrast the positive trait of being caring with the need for more training. It indicates a contradiction or unexpected outcome. "Also" is not appropriate as it would imply she needs training in addition to being caring. "Hitherto" means until now and doesn't fit in the sentence context. "Otherwise" implies a consequence or different outcome, which doesn't match the intended contrast in the sentence.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: effect. In the sentence, "affect" should be followed by "effect" as they form the cause-and-effect relationship. The correct usage is "Her mentor's advice was bound to affect her final decision." The word "effect" is a noun, while "affect" is a verb, so they complement each other in this context. The other choices, mentor's, advice, and decision, are all used correctly in the sentence and do not contribute to the grammatical error.
