Creating Jumbled Sentence Questions

With this question type, students are presented with a portion of a sentence and dropdown lists from which they must select the words that are missing from the sentence and put them in the correct order.

Example: Translate the following sentence into French: I love to study at Wentworth.
J'[aime] [étudier] à [Wentworth].

Note: The text that appears in square brackets is replaced by dropdown lists, which display the text in random order.
