## The question form

## Answers for each type

- **True / False**: choose the correct one.
- **Matching**: write each pair as `Left : Right`, for example `Nigeria : Abuja`. The right-hand column is shuffled for students.
- **Ordering**: enter the items in the **correct** order. Surepass shuffles them for students.
