Grammar for HESI A2

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, "manage." In the context of the sentence, the word "manage" should be spelled as "manage" and not "manege." The correct spelling of "manage" is crucial for the sentence to convey the intended meaning of effectively supervising or handling people. The other choices (A, B, C) are spelled correctly and are essential in maintaining the sentence's coherence. Therefore, "manage" is the only word that is not spelled correctly in this context.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. "Having completed" is a present perfect participle phrase that should be followed by a subject and verb, but in this sentence, it is not. The correct structure would be "Having completed the coursework that was required, Jorge is now preparing for exam week." B: "was required" is used correctly as the past tense of require in the passive voice. C: "now prepares" is used correctly as a present tense verb phrase. D: "prepared for" is used correctly as a past tense verb phrase.

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: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: then. In the context of the sentence, "then" should be spelled as "than" to make the sentence grammatically correct. "Than" is used for making comparisons, while "then" is used to indicate time or sequence. The other choices, A: Nothing, B: delightful, and D: reservoir are all spelled correctly and do not impact the sentence's meaning or grammar.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: hers. The possessive pronoun "hers" is used to show that the books belong to Kendra. It is the correct choice to maintain clarity and avoid repetition. A (her) is a possessive pronoun, but it doesn't differentiate between Kendra's and the speaker's books. B (his) and C (she's) are incorrect as they refer to a male and a contraction of "she is," respectively. So, D is the best choice for this sentence.
