Question 2
Q: When is a Hot Potatoes exercise marked as 'finished'? Choose ALL the correct answers.
- when there are no more questions (Incorrect. The exercise will not be marked as 'finished' simply because there are no more questions. Because a Hot Potatoes exercise is supposed to help you learn, you must display all the correct answers before it is marked as 'finished'.)
- when you've displayed the correct answer to all of the questions (correct) (Correct. These exercises are for learning, not 'testing', so it is important to see the correct answer and the explanation. This is why you must click the correct answer even when you know by elimination which one it is.) (if not chosen: These exercises are designed to help you learn and understand, not to 'test' you, so it is important to see the correct answer and the explanation. This is why you must click the correct answer even when you know by elimination which one it is.)
- when you score 100% (correct) (Correct. Note that it is not necessary to score 100%, because these exercises are to help you learn. Using 'clues' and 'hints' will automatically make your score lower. This is not important.)
