HESI A2 Grammar Practice Test 2024

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: among. In the sentence, the word "among" should be replaced with "between" because "between" is used for comparing two things, while "among" is used for comparing more than two things. The sentence is comparing two treatment protocols, so "between" is the appropriate word. A: The word "real" is used correctly in the sentence to emphasize that there is no actual distinction between the treatment protocols. C: The word "protocols" is used correctly to refer to the specific sets of guidelines or rules for the treatments. D: The word "online" is used correctly to specify that the recommended treatment protocols are found on the internet.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: receipt. In the given sentence, the word "receipt" is not used correctly because the cashier hands over the receipt after the transaction, not simultaneously with the change. The receipt is typically given last as proof of the transaction. A: "ringing" is used correctly as it refers to the action of totaling up the nails. B: "cashier" is used correctly as it identifies the person performing the transaction. D: "change" is used correctly as it refers to the money returned to the customer after payment.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Our. In the sentence, 'Screaming our took the shopkeeper by surprise,' the word 'our' functions as a possessive determiner, indicating that the screaming belonged to 'us.' The word 'our' correctly connects the subject 'us' to the action of screaming. Rationale: A: We - Incorrect. 'We' is a subject pronoun and cannot function as a possessive determiner in this context. B: They - Incorrect. 'They' is a subject pronoun and does not show possession. C: Them - Incorrect. 'Them' is an object pronoun and cannot indicate possession.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: avoid. In the sentence, "avoid" is the most suitable word to convey the idea of not being able to escape or prevent learning how to use a computer. "Not" (A) and "despite" (C) are not appropriate in this context. "Evading" (B) does not fit grammatically or semantically. The word "avoid" is the only choice that accurately completes the sentence and maintains its intended meaning.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: "toward peace was." In this sentence, the preposition "toward" is needed to show the direction or objective of the action "working." The verb "was" agrees with the singular subject "working." A: "to peace is" is incorrect because the present tense "is" does not agree with the past tense implied by "Working." C: "to peace was" is incorrect because the preposition "to" does not convey the appropriate direction of the action. D: "toward peace am" is incorrect because "am" does not agree with the subject "working."
