Notes

To display multiple entry cells, use the <n> structure in the text of the question (where n corresponds to the number of the entry cell). To use additional formatting in the question (for example, line breaks and text formatting), use HTML.
The drop-down box in Blank 1 allows the student to select from a list of options (red, green, or blue).
The text field in Blank 2 requires that the student enter a text response that exactly matches the correct answer. Note: The text question subtype can contain a list of correct answers to allow for more than one correct answer.
The formula text field in Blank 3 requires that the student enter a formula or number without units.
