Grammar for HESI A2 Questions

Question 1 of 5

What word is best to fill in the blank in the following sentence? Jenny loaned Luis 50 dollars, and he repaid ___________ within the month.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, the pronoun should refer to Luis, who borrowed the money. Since Luis is a male, the correct pronoun to use in this context is 'him.' Therefore, the correct answer is 'him.' Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not match the gender of Luis or do not make sense in the context of the sentence.

Question 2 of 5

Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of the following sentence? To succeed in this position, it is necessary to manage people well.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The word 'manage' is misspelled as 'menage' in the sentence. The correct spelling of the word is 'manage.' Therefore, the correct answer is 'D: manage.' Choices A, B, and C are all spelled correctly in the context of the sentence.

Question 3 of 5

Select the word that will make the following sentence grammatically correct. The patients are resting comfortably; ___________, bed checks should still be done every half hour.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The word 'otherwise' is used to indicate that although the patients are resting comfortably, under different circumstances, bed checks should still be done every half hour. This maintains the correct logic and flow of the sentence, making it grammatically correct. Choice A, 'despite,' would imply a contrasting situation that is not the intended meaning in this context. Choice B, 'however,' also implies a contrast rather than the intended conditional relationship. Choice D, 'afterward,' indicates a time sequence that does not fit the context of the sentence.

Question 4 of 5

Select the word that makes the following sentence grammatically correct. The flock huddles against the wind that ruffles ___________ feathers.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: In this sentence, the word 'flock' is singular, so the pronoun that follows should also be singular. Therefore, the correct choice is 'its,' which refers back to the singular noun 'flock.' Choice B ('their') is incorrect because it is a plural pronoun and does not agree in number with the singular noun 'flock.' Choices C ('it's') and D ('they're') are both incorrect contractions that do not fit grammatically in this context.

Question 5 of 5

Select the phrase that will make the following sentence grammatically correct. Over the next few months, we ___________.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct phrase to use in this sentence is 'will listen and learn' because it indicates actions that will take place in the future. The verb 'will' is needed to show that these actions have not occurred yet but are planned for the upcoming months. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not convey the future tense required in the sentence. Choice A lacks the future tense, choice B is in the present continuous tense, and choice C is in the past perfect tense, which are all grammatically incorrect in this context.
