The question element of the fill blank activity consists of the question along with the blanks of the activity. A fill blank activity can only contain one question, but a question can contain any number of blanks. The question element should not be removed.
Blanks are inline to the question, which means they are embedded along with the text of the question, to easily maintain the flow of the text. A blank is inserted at the caret’s position when in edit-mode, or to the end of the question otherwise. To remove a blank, simply select and remove it using Design > Remove, or the Delete key.
A blank can be of two types: a textual blank, and a selectable blank.

Textual blanks are open inputs which can be filled by the learner. A textual blank has a list of one or more options, which are considered as correct values for that blank. To add a textual blank, use Fill Blank > Add Textual Blank.
Selectable blanks provide the learner with a list of options to choose from, in which one or more options can be correct. To add a selectable blank, use Fill Blank > Add Selectable Blank.
Options
Each blank has an option list, which is visible when selecting the blank. To add an option, you must first select the blank you wish to add the option to. The order of the options within the option list can be rearranged, by dragging and dropping an option to the desired position. To remove an option, simply select and remove it using Design > Remove, or the Delete key.
An option can be of the following types: a blank option, a blank range, and a blank mask.
