                                    1. use an image with cloze deletions
                                      1. ex: cloze deletion on the Krebs' Cycle diagram
                                      2. make the list "chronological"
                                        1. ex: "list the steps in order of events when a molecule of Acetyl-CoA enters the Krebs cycle"

                                        1. No useless wording
