Options given never less than 4, rarely
more than 5 (recommended 4)

Example:

One of my best friends owns a restaurant. When I eat there, he


never lets me pay for my food. Because I do not want to look like I
am taking advantage of him, I always order something relatively
cheap, even if sometimes I would rather pay the normal price and
get something more expensive.

Which of the following is correct ?


a) My demand curve for food at the specific restaurant is
positively sloped.
b) The supply curve of the restaurant is negatively sloped.
c) Both of the above are true.
d) None of the above is true.

Advantages / disadvantages
Higher level of Blooms taxonomy
More reliable than other selected
response items
More difficult for students and more
efficient for teachers than multiple
choice
