Match question

Mike Rietveld
  • Updated

The match question consists of two or more columns and rows. Normally, the columns contain premises (the thing you are asking about) and the rows contain the responses (the options to pick from). Each item in the column is paired with at least one item in the row. The Students have to couple the rows to the columns.
