matching questions
Connect-the-items exercises
Matching questions are a test format where items in one column must be paired with corresponding items in another—typically terms with definitions, dates with events, or causes with effects.
Common in educational assessments, they test recognition and association rather than recall: The exam included a section of matching questions on state capitals.
