Fill in the blanks: insert the missing word

The platform offers several options for filling in the blanks:

• Enter a word or phrase

• Choose an option from a list

You specify which option to use in each specific case. As the correct answer, you can select multiple variants for any case, including for the "enter the correct option" method, allowing automatic checking to recognize all possible correct spellings.

Each question appears sequentially and may include separate statements—subpoints—displayed to the student simultaneously on the page.

Additional Settings

Merge All Answers and Display Consolidated for Each Blank

This feature automatically merges all answers (both correct and incorrect) from all blanks and statements in a question into a single list. This means you don’t need to add extra options for each blank separately—just use the toggle switch.

Display Answers Explicitly

This setting allows answers to be immediately visible to the student instead of showing a blank space with a "List, explicitly" prompt.

Here is an example of the explicit answer display:

Question and Statement Scoring Settings

Within the quiz settings, you can adjust the percentage of correct answers or the required number of points for automatic quiz completion. Note that points can be assigned to the quiz individually, to individual questions, or to specific answers. Simply assigning points for the quiz might not yield the desired results, so we recommend watching the video tutorial explaining how to set up quiz scoring.

Regardless of point settings, you can adjust question scoring based on the number of correct statements or responses.

For example, in the case below, Question 2 consists of three statements, each containing separate answers—blanks to be filled.

• Statement 1 includes text requiring four answers.

• Statements 2 and 3 contain one blank, requiring one answer per statement.

Scoring Adjustments

You can configure the following:

• The number of correct answers required for a statement to be considered complete.

• In Statement 1 (with 4 blanks), all 4 answers must be correct for it to be counted.

• By default, a statement is only counted if all its blanks are correctly filled.

• If a statement contains 20 blanks, all 20 answers must be correct for the question to be counted.

If you want to allow students to make a few mistakes, use the statement approval setting:

For example, if you want 3 out of 4 blanks filled correctly to count as correct, set 75% as the passing threshold.

Since a question may consist of multiple statements, you can also set the required percentage of correct statements for the entire question to be considered accurate. 

Your question can contain unlimited statements, and by default, all (100%) must be correct. If one out of 50 statements is incorrect, the question is marked as incorrect.

Adjust the percentage of correct statements required to allow students some margin for error while still progressing. For example, if a question has 10 statements and you want to mark it as correct if at least 8 are answered correctly, set the threshold to 80%.

If the question approval setting is unavailable, open the quiz settings and enable point-based evaluation—even if you don’t plan to assign points.
