HESI A2 Grammar Practice Exam 2024 Questions

Question 1 of 5

She was so mad at her boyfriend, she __________ on him when he called.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: 'Hung up' is correct because it is the proper phrasal verb used when referring to ending a phone call. In this context, the sentence implies that the woman ended the call abruptly due to being angry. 'Yelled' and 'Screamed' both suggest vocalizing loudly, which doesn't fit the situation described. 'Speak' is incorrect as it should be 'spoke' for proper verb tense agreement.

Question 2 of 5

Identify the dependent clause in this sentence: The mother dog left her bed as soon as the puppies were asleep.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'As soon as the puppies were asleep' is the dependent clause in the sentence. It functions as an adverbial clause, indicating a time relationship with the action of the mother dog leaving her bed. Dependent clauses rely on independent clauses to form complete sentences and cannot stand alone.
Choice B is incorrect because it separates the dependent clause.
Choice C is incorrect as it is a noun phrase.
Choice D is incorrect as it is an independent clause.

Question 3 of 5

To be admitted to the university, he ________ to make an application by May 15.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Has.' In this sentence, 'he' is singular, so the verb should also be singular. 'Has' is the correct form of the verb for the third-person singular subject 'he.' The verb 'have' is plural and does not agree with the singular subject. 'Might' and 'should' are modal verbs that do not fit the context of the sentence requiring a simple verb form.

Question 4 of 5

Identify the grammatically correct sentence.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct sentence is 'Which one do you want?'
Choice A is grammatically correct as it forms a question using 'which' to inquire about a specific choice.

Choices B, C, and D contain errors in phrasing or grammar.
Choice B includes a misspelling of 'want,' choice C uses 'whose' incorrectly, and choice D incorrectly combines 'who' and 'is' without proper context.

Question 5 of 5

The child cried, 'I want to do it ____________.'

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, the correct reflexive pronoun is 'myself' as it reflects the action back onto the subject. 'I want to do it myself' means the child wants to do something on their own without assistance from others.

Choice A 'Mine' is a possessive pronoun and doesn't fit in the context of the sentence.
Choice B 'Me' is an object pronoun and doesn't show the action reflecting back on the subject.
Choice D 'Me self' is not a correct form of a reflexive pronoun in English.
