# Fill-in-the-Blank Questions

> Complete the missing words or values in a sentence, formula, or table.

Fill-in-the-blank questions place answer fields within the question's response area. A question may have several blanks, including fields inside a table.

## Complete the Blanks

Read the whole sentence or table before entering your answers. Use **Tab** to move between fields, then check that you have filled in every blank.

## How Responses Are Graded

* **Text blanks:** Exact match, though capitalization and extra spaces don't affect matching.
* **Number matching:** Numerical equivalence. **5** and **5.0**, are treated as the same answer.
* **Partial credit:** Questions with multiple blanks, allow you to earn credit for correct entries, even if others are incorrect.

<Tip>
  Use the exact requested word or value. Extra explanations or a synonyms may result in no credit.
