Hottext (Inline Select) Questions
A hottext question makes certain words or phrases inside a passage selectable, and asks you to click the one(s) that answer the prompt — such as the error in a sentence.
How to approach it
Read the full sentence for meaning, then test each selectable span against the prompt. The target is usually the word that breaks a rule or best fits a definition.
Example
Click the word that is grammatically incorrect: "She don’t like coffee." — don’t.
Common variants
- Select one span

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.
