Grammar HESI A2 Practice Test - Nurselytic

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The phrase 'never seen' in the sentence is not used correctly. The correct phrase should be 'never seen,' which is the past participle form of the verb 'see.' In this context, 'seen' is the correct past participle to use with 'had never.'
Choice A, 'Until his trip,' is correct as it sets the time frame.
Choice B, 'had never,' is also correct as it indicates the past perfect tense.
Choice D, 'his ancestral home,' is also used correctly as it refers to the place Javier had never seen before.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct punctuation needed in the sentence is a colon. A colon is used to introduce a list or an explanation. In this case, the colon helps to indicate that the following phrase ('Remember the old saying') is providing an explanation or clarification related to the phrase before it.
Choice A, the exclamation point, is incorrect as the sentence is not expressing strong emotion or excitement.
Choice B, the apostrophe, is incorrect as it is not needed for possession or contraction.
Choice D, the semicolon, is incorrect as it is used to connect two independent clauses, which is not the case here.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, the correct word to use is 'them.' The subject of the sentence is 'the intern and another person,' indicating more than one individual.
Therefore, the pronoun 'them' is the appropriate choice to refer to multiple people engaged in folding the bandages.
Choice A ('us') is incorrect as it refers to the speaker and the intern, not the intern and another person.
Choice B ('he') is singular and does not match the plural subject of the sentence.
Choice D ('her') is also singular and does not agree with the plural subject 'the intern and another person.'

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct spelling of the word in the sentence should be 'counsel' instead of 'council.' 'Counsel' refers to legal advice or a person or group of people giving advice or guidance. The other choices ('accused,' 'serious,' 'crime') are spelled correctly and are relevant in the context of the sentence.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The word 'they' is the best substitute for the underlined words in the sentence because it refers to the plural noun 'nursing students' and is used to indicate the subject of the sentence. Using 'they' maintains subject-verb agreement and clarity in the sentence.

Choice A 'them' is incorrect as it is used for objects, not subjects.
Choice B 'him' is singular and does not agree with the plural noun 'nursing students.'
Choice D 'those' is also incorrect as it refers to objects, not the subject of the sentence.
