Grammar HESI A2 Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which word is used incorrectly in the following sentence? Professor Turnbull will apprise us of the correct procedure for submitting our work.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: appraise. The word "appraise" means to assess the value or quality of something, usually referring to objects or property. In the given sentence, the intended meaning is to inform or notify, which aligns with the word "apprise." Therefore, "appraise" is used incorrectly. The other choices (B, C, D) are all used correctly in the sentence, as they are all relevant and accurately convey their intended meanings within the context provided.
Question 2 of 5
Select the word that makes this sentence grammatically correct. I added ___________ pepper to the casserole.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: more. The sentence structure indicates the need for a comparative word to show an increase in the amount of pepper added. "More" is the appropriate choice to convey this meaning. Choice A (too) implies an excessive amount of pepper, which is not the intended meaning. Choice C (those) is a demonstrative pronoun that does not fit in the context of the sentence. Choice D (many) is used for countable nouns, not for uncountable nouns like pepper in this case. Thus, "more" is the only option that fits grammatically and logically in the sentence.
Question 3 of 5
Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of the sentence? The chef rolled each meatball in a mixture of coarse flour and herbs.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: coarse. In the context of the sentence, "coarse" should be spelled with an "a" instead of an "e" as in "course." The word "coarse" refers to the texture of the flour, indicating it is rough or granular. The incorrect spelling "coarse" does not align with the intended meaning of the sentence. The other choices, "rolled," "flour," and "herbs," are all spelled correctly and are appropriate in the context provided.
Question 4 of 5
Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct. Sadie and her mother were excited to ________ the award.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: receive. In this sentence, "excited to receive" is the correct phrase to convey that Sadie and her mother are looking forward to receiving the award in the future. The infinitive form "to receive" is used after "excited" to indicate the action that they are excited about. Explanation: A: "be received" is passive voice and does not convey the intended meaning of Sadie and her mother actively receiving the award. B: "receiving" is a gerund form and does not fit grammatically with the structure of the sentence. D: "have been received" is in the present perfect tense and does not match the simple past tense used in the sentence.
Question 5 of 5
Which word is used incorrectly in the following sentence? The design was incredibly complex, with multicolored, repeating patterns.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: incredible. In the sentence, "incredibly" is used incorrectly as it should be "incredibly complex" to modify the noun "complex." The word "incredible" means unbelievable or hard to believe, which does not fit the context of describing the complexity of the design. The other choices (B, C, D) are used correctly in the sentence and contribute to describing the design accurately. "Complex" correctly describes the level of intricacy, "multicolored" describes the variety of colors, and "repeating" describes the patterns in the design.
