In Mastery Connect, you can create a cloze drop-down item. A cloze drop-down is a fill-in-the-blank (typically word-based) question in which each blank is pre-populated with a drop-down menu option.
You can create any item type through the Item Editor. You can also use the Item Editor to add passages, add item-level tools, and save the item. To open and use the Item Editor, learn more about:
- Creating an item in your personal item bank
- Creating an item in the district item bank as an administrator
- Creating an item from within an assessment
