HESI A2 Grammar Practice Test 2024 Questions
Question 1 of 5
Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct: '____ screaming took the shopkeeper by surprise.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In this sentence, 'Our' is the possessive pronoun that correctly indicates possession, making the sentence grammatically correct. The sentence implies that the screaming belonged to a group that includes the shopkeeper.
Therefore, 'Our' is the appropriate choice. The other options ('We,' 'They,' 'Them') are incorrect as they do not convey possession as required in the sentence.
Extract:
The correct word is "presents." In medical terminology, when a condition "presents" with a symptom, it means that the symptom is a noticeable feature or indication of the condition. Therefore, "presents" is the appropriate verb to describe how the condition manifests itself with vertigo. The other options do not fit the grammatical structure of the sentence.
Question 2 of 5
Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct: 'Sometimes, the condition ____ with an unusual symptom-vertigo.'
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: 'Presents' is the correct choice here. The sentence requires a verb that indicates the condition appearing with a symptom. In medical terminology, when a condition 'presents' with a symptom, it means that the symptom is a noticeable feature or indication of the condition.
Therefore, 'presents' is the appropriate verb to describe how the condition manifests itself with vertigo. The other options do not fit the grammatical structure of the sentence.

Question 3 of 5
Select the word that correctly completes the following sentence: 'The intern was surprised by the ____ of pain he was in after his first day of work.'
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'amount.' In this context, 'amount' is used to describe the intensity or level of pain, which is an uncountable noun. 'Frequency' (
B) refers to how often something occurs, 'number' (
C) is used for countable objects, and 'amplitude' (
D) is typically used in the context of sound or waves, not pain.
Question 4 of 5
Which word in the following sentence functions as the direct object: 'The nurse helped the patient with the medication'?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In the sentence 'The nurse helped the patient with the medication,' the direct object is 'patient' because it receives the action of being helped. The direct object typically answers the question 'whom' or 'what' after the verb. In this case, 'the patient' is the one being helped by the nurse, making it the direct object.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. 'Helped' is the verb, 'nurse' is the subject performing the action, and 'medication' is part of a prepositional phrase and does not directly receive the action of the verb.
Question 5 of 5
Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of the following sentence? 'The climate ___ is inappropriate for snow sports such as skiing.'
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The word 'hear' is misspelled; it should be 'here.' In the context of the sentence provided, 'hear' does not fit logically and should be replaced with 'here' to convey the intended meaning. 'Climate,' 'inappropriate,' and 'skiing' are all spelled correctly and are appropriate in the context of the sentence. 'Hear' is a homophone and does not make sense in this context.
