3. THE MONTILLATION AND USES OF TRAXOLINE It is very important to learn about traxoline. Traxoline is a new form of zionter. It is montilled in Ceristanna. The Ceristannians found that they could gristerlate large amounts of fervon and then bracter it to quasel traxoline. This new, more efficient bracterillation process has the potential to make traxoline one of the most useful products within the molecular family of lukizes snezlaus. Adapted from Koch, 2009.

9. Multiple T/F Benefits: -Detects students with correct and incorrect ideas, “mixed models” (Nehm & Reilly, 2007) -More equivalent to free response item difficulties. (Kubinger & Gottschall, 2007) -Allows greater flexibility in question design.
