Drag-and-Drop Questions
A drag-and-drop question asks you to move draggable items — words, objects, or markers — onto predefined drop targets. A common variant drops labels or markers directly onto an image.
How to approach it
Map each draggable to its target before you move anything. With image targets, look closely at the diagram so each marker lands in the right region.
Example
Drag the labels "nucleus", "membrane" and "cytoplasm" onto the correct parts of a cell diagram.
Common variants
- Drag text to targets
- Drag markers onto an image
- Drag-and-drop with extra options

Related question types
Multiple Choice A multiple choice question presents a stem (the question) and a fixed list of options, exactly one of which is correct. The wrong options are called distractors and are written to look plausible. Multiple Response A multiple response question has two or more correct options and asks you to select every one of them. Because partial credit is common, each checkbox is effectively its own true/false decision. True/False A true/false question gives one statement and asks you to judge whether it is correct. Yes/no and agree/disagree items are the same binary format. Fill in the Blank A fill-in-the-blank question removes a key word, term or value from a sentence and asks you to type it in. Grading usually matches your text against an accepted-answer list.
