HESI A2 Grammar Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of the following sentence? Their chairs were stationary, but the interns seated in them were agitated.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
Which sentence is the clearest?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Option B, 'When I was seven, my mother moved me to a new school,' is the clearest sentence as it directly and clearly states that when the speaker was seven, their mother moved them to a new school. This sentence clearly indicates the age of the speaker and who initiated the action, making it the most precise and easy to understand among the choices. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they either incorrectly position the age or the action initiator, leading to ambiguity and confusion in the sentence.
Question 3 of 5
Select the word or phrase that is misplaced in the following sentence: The book is in my locker at school that is long overdue.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The phrase 'that is long overdue' is misplaced in the sentence as it disrupts the flow. Placing it after 'The book' would enhance clarity and coherence. This adjustment ensures the phrase directly describes the book rather than the school, improving the logical and coherent connection within the sentence structure. Choices A, B, and C are correctly positioned and contribute to a clear and coherent sentence about the location of the book.
Question 4 of 5
Select the word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct. Miguel and I are waiting to ___________ with the doctor.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The verb 'meet' is the correct option in this context as it completes the sentence structure 'waiting to meet with the doctor' in a grammatically correct way. The sentence requires an infinitive verb form to convey the intended meaning of Miguel and I waiting to have a meeting or appointment with the doctor. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'be met' changes the meaning, 'meeting' is a gerund form which doesn't fit the sentence structure, and 'met' is a past tense form that doesn't match the present tense context of the sentence.
Question 5 of 5
Select the phrase in the following sentence that is not used correctly: He had never had to be on his own in the past.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The phrase 'to be' is not used correctly in the sentence. The correct phrase should be 'to be' in this context. The infinitive form of the verb 'be' is used after 'to.' In this sentence, the infinitive form 'to be' should follow 'had' to form the correct structure. Choices A, B, and D are all used appropriately in the sentence, focusing on the order and placement of the words in the context provided.
