A TRUE/FALSE question makes
a statement, and students must choose whether that statement
is true or false.
Examples:
1. Network television (channels like ABC, NBC, FOX, and
NBC) is free to viewers because companies pay to have their
advertisements played during shows. True / False
2. Subscription channels (like HBO and Showtime) have no
commercials, so they make money by charging viewers a monthly
fee to watch their programs. True / False
A MULTIPLE CHOICE question
gives students several options to select from, only one of
which is correct.
Examples:
1. Which of the following is a subscription channel?
a.) CNN
b.) WB
c.) MSNBC
d.) STARZ
e.) MTV
2. Which statement best explains why your parents won't
subscribe to HBO?
a.) HBO is too expensive.
b.) HBO's programs are inappropriate for children to watch.
c.) TV rots your brain.
d.) This family already watches entirely too much television.
e.) They like Cinemax better than HBO.
A SHORT ANSWER QUESTION
asks a student to explain something in their own words.
Examples:

to one of the premium entertainment channels (like Showtime
or HBO). Write a few sentences telling them which channel
you want them to pay for and why.
