To set up this question type, you need to generate cloze text. This means that where an answer is required, you will need to generate bracketed instructions so the answer can be marked automatically, and feedback generated. For example:
{1:SHORTANSWER:%0%tertiary#Sorry, that's incorrect~%100%primary#That's correct!~%0%secondary#Not quite, read the question carefully}
This can be a complex process if you are not familiar with it, and it is easy to make a mistake. You could try the Moodle Cloze editor (external resource) which can generate cloze from your text. Once generated, you can copy and paste it into the Question text area in this question.
