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
John F. Kennedy was a senator before he _______ president in 1960.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Was elected' as it is the passive voice construction needed in this context. The sentence is referring to an action that happened to John F. Kennedy (being elected president), so the passive voice 'was elected' is the appropriate form to use in this sentence.
Choice A, 'Elected,' is incorrect because it is the active voice and does not fit the sentence structure.
Choice B, 'Was electing,' is incorrect as it is the continuous form of the verb, which is not suitable in this sentence.
Choice D, 'Had elected,' is incorrect because it implies a past perfect tense which is not required in this context.
Question 3 of 5
I am looking forward to ___________ on a vacation next month.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this sentence, the correct form is the gerund 'going' after the preposition 'to.' The gerund form is used after prepositions to indicate an action or state.
Therefore, 'Going' is the correct choice to complete the sentence.
Choice A ('Go') is incorrect because it is not the gerund form required after 'to.'
Choice C ('Be going') is incorrect as it is not the standard form used in this context.
Choice D ('Going to go') is redundant and unnecessarily wordy.
Question 4 of 5
During the storm, the glass in three of the windows ___________.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Were broken.' In this sentence, the subject 'glass in three of the windows' is plural, so the correct verb form should also be plural, which is 'were broken.' The verb 'broken' in the original sentence is in the past participle form, which is used correctly in the corrected answer choice 'D.'
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not match the subject in number ('glass in three of the windows') and do not use the correct past participle form of the verb.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse did not think that the symptoms ___________ an emergency room visit.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this sentence, the word that best fits is 'warranted,' meaning that the symptoms did not justify or necessitate an emergency room visit. 'Desired' means wanted or wished for, 'Guaranteed' means assured, and 'Should have been' is not the appropriate phrase in this context.
Therefore, 'warranted' is the correct choice for this question.
