HESI A2 Grammar Practice Test
1. Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of the following sentence? The counselor expected me to accept her advice without question.
- A. counselor
- B. expected
- C. accept
- D. advise
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The word 'counselor' is spelled correctly in the sentence. The word 'advise' in the sentence should be spelled 'advice.' 'Advise' is a verb meaning to offer suggestions, while 'advice' is a noun referring to recommendations or guidance given by someone. In this context, the correct word to use is 'advice,' as the sentence implies the counselor's guidance rather than her action of advising. Choice A is the correct answer as it is the only word that is not spelled correctly in the given sentence.
2. Select the correct word for the blank in the following sentence: Nurse Junko and ________ will review the patient’s chart.
- A. me
- B. she
- C. them
- D. him
Correct answer: B
Rationale: In this sentence, the correct word to use after 'and' is a pronoun that would refer to Nurse Junko as another person. Since 'Nurse Junko' is a singular female subject, the appropriate pronoun to use is 'she.' Therefore, the correct choice is 'she.' Choice 'A' ('me') is incorrect because it is an object pronoun, not a subject pronoun. Choice 'C' ('them') is incorrect because it is a plural pronoun and does not agree with the singular subject 'Nurse Junko.' Choice 'D' ('him') is incorrect because it is a masculine pronoun, while the subject 'Nurse Junko' is a singular female, so the pronoun should be feminine.
3. Select the word that makes the following sentence grammatically correct. It is important that one is able to self-motivate and work by ___________.
- A. oneself
- B. oneselves
- C. hisself
- D. themselves
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The word 'oneself' is a reflexive pronoun that refers back to the subject of the sentence, allowing the sentence to be grammatically correct. Options B and C, 'oneselves' and 'hisself,' are not standard English words. Option D, 'themselves,' is a plural pronoun and does not agree with the singular noun 'one' in the sentence.
4. Which of the following words or phrases fits best in the following sentence? The radiology department sends Troy to pick up lunch ______ it isn’t too busy at the office.
- A. as long as
- B. as if
- C. after
- D. unless
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The phrase 'as long as' is used to indicate a condition that needs to be met for the main clause to happen. In this sentence, the radiology department sends Troy to pick up lunch only if it isn't too busy at the office, so 'as long as' is the most suitable phrase to convey this conditional relationship. Choice B, 'as if,' implies a hypothetical comparison rather than a condition. Choice C, 'after,' suggests a sequence of events rather than a condition. Choice D, 'unless,' introduces a negative condition which does not fit the context of the sentence.
5. Select the word or phrase that makes the following sentence grammatically correct: The wheelchair started _______ down the corridor without assistance.
- A. roll
- B. to roll
- C. rolled
- D. will roll
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'to roll.' In this sentence, 'started' is followed by the infinitive form of the verb 'to roll.' The construction 'started to roll' indicates the beginning of the action of the wheelchair moving down the corridor. Choice A ('roll') is incorrect as it lacks the infinitive marker 'to' needed after 'started.' Choice C ('rolled') is incorrect as it is the past tense form of the verb, not suitable for the sentence's context. Choice D ('will roll') is incorrect as it indicates a future action, not the past action indicated by 'started.'
