HESI A2 Grammar Practice Test 2024 Questions
Question 1 of 5
Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct: 'Theo was in great shape; he ____ all the way back to the pier.'
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In this sentence, the correct choice is 'swam,' which is the past tense of 'swim.' Therefore, 'swam' correctly completes the sentence: 'Theo was in great shape; he swam all the way back to the pier.' 'Swimmed' is not a valid past tense form of 'swim,' 'swum' is the past participle form and doesn't fit the context, and 'swim' is the base form of the verb and is not suitable in this case.
Question 2 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 3 of 5
What word is used incorrectly in the following sentence: 'Whoever wrote the letter forgot to sign their name.'
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 4 of 5
Select the word or phrase that makes this sentence grammatically correct: 'The child's fever was ____ high for him to lie comfortably in bed.'
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct word is 'too,' which indicates an excessive amount. In this sentence, 'too high' describes the fever being excessively high, making it difficult for the child to lie comfortably. The other options do not fit the context: 'to' is a preposition, 'much' describes quantity but not excessiveness, and 'more' indicates a comparison, which is not relevant here.
Question 5 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.
