Drop-Down Rationale The Drop-Down Cloze and Drop-Down Rationale test items share many similarities. In both cases, you'll encounter sentences with gaps that need to be filled using the options provided for each gap. In the Drop-Down Rationale, however, the sentences tend to follow a cause-and-effect structure.

​ Drop-Down in Table Item This item type closely resembles the drop-down cloze but with a key difference: the drop-down selections are presented within a table rather than embedded in a sentence or passage. In this example item, there are three drop-down elements, allowing for a maximum item score of three points.

Drag-and-Drop Cloze Item

​ The Drag-and-Drop Cloze test item operates like the Drop-Down Cloze. Instead of using a drop-down menu to select options, however, you'll click on the correct responses and move them into the blanks to complete one or more sentences.
