A fill-in-the-blank (FTB) question must have an answer of two words or less.
Longer answers create problems for automatic grading. A developer must convert questions with long answers to multiple-choice questions.
Fill-in-the-blank answers must be two words or less. This rule makes sure that a computer can grade the answers correctly. Students might type longer answers in different ways. For example, they might use different word orders. They might also use different capitalization or small words like 'a' or 'the'. A computer needs to be very smart to understand all these differences. This smartness comes from using an AI model. Using an AI model for every answer costs money and takes time. Keeping answers short avoids these problems.
A teacher creates a fill-in-the-blank question. The correct answer is 'consumption of fixed capital'. This answer has four words. The system automatically changes this question to a multiple-choice question. This prevents grading errors and saves processing costs.

The 'subjective' format is a type of quiz. It lets the user type any answer they want.
The 'jumbled blocks' format is an advanced way to check language understanding. It uses an interaction state object.
An AI model uses a special format to test punctuation. This format is called 'punctuation_placer'.
The system uses the same display for practice questions. The top of the screen shows progress, like 'Correcting 1/12'.
