Grammar for HESI A2 Questions

Question 1 of 5

Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of the following sentence? To succeed in this position, it is necessary to manage people well.

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.

Question 2 of 5

Select the word in the following sentence that is not used correctly. Try not to lose patience or suffer a drop in morale.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: lose. In the sentence, "Try not to lose patience or suffer a drop in morale," the word "lose" is used incorrectly because you don't "lose" patience; you "run out of" or "lack" patience. The word "lose" implies misplacing something physical, not an abstract concept like patience. The other choices (B: patience, C: suffer, D: morale) are used correctly in the sentence as they convey the intended meaning without any grammatical errors.

Question 3 of 5

Select the phrase that will make the following sentence grammatically correct. Until the semester ends, Lily ___________.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: "will not travel far from town." This choice uses the future tense "will not," which is appropriate for an action that will happen in the future (until the semester ends). The present tense in choices A and B is incorrect as it does not indicate future action. Choice C uses the future perfect tense, which implies completion before a specific point in the future, not ongoing action. Therefore, the correct choice is D as it accurately conveys that Lily will not travel far from town until the semester ends.

Question 4 of 5

Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of the following sentence? The ingenious foxes managed to lever open one side of the coop.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: ingenious. The word "ingenious" is misspelled in the sentence as it should be spelled with an "i" instead of an "e" (i-n-g-e-n-i-o-u-s). The correct spelling of "ingenious" means clever or inventive, which fits the context of the sentence. Summary of why other choices are incorrect: - B: "foxes" is spelled correctly and is a plural form of the word "fox." - C: "lever" is spelled correctly and refers to a tool used for lifting or prying open. - D: "coop" is spelled correctly and refers to a small enclosure for poultry.

Question 5 of 5

Select the word that makes the following sentence grammatically correct. The committee finished _______ report in time for the annual review.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: its. In this sentence, "committee" is a singular noun, so the possessive pronoun should also be singular. "Its" is the possessive form for singular nouns, while "their" (B) is plural. "It's" (C) is a contraction for "it is" and does not show possession. "They're" (D) is a contraction for "they are" and is also incorrect. Therefore, "its" is the only option that correctly agrees with the singular noun "committee."
