Most multiple choice will be the standard four choices, with one being correct and three being incorrect. However, some will ask for TWO answers, or “Which one is NOT… or “Circle ALL of the following…” These could be 2, 3, or all 4.
Matching will usually be significant vocabulary, concepts, or people. Typically 8-10 questions, with a word bank of choices.
Short answer is a question that usually requires an answer of 1-3 sentences, usually explaining “why”, or “how”, or the significance of something. Best advice: don’t let me have questions about your answer. Be thorough! Don’t assume the reader knows anything about the subject.
