What Is A Fill-In-The-Blank Question?
Before going to the step-by-step guide on how to create fill in the blank in Google Forms, we need to know what a fill-in-the-blank question is.
The Fill in the blank question is also called the completion question. This question type will give partial sentences to students and require them to complete the sentence by writing their own answers.
