With a few notable exceptions, I’ve always enjoyed taking tests. Multiple-choice questions are almost always easy, and writing an essays and/or term papers can be interesting (if you like the topic). But for some reason, fill in the blank questions have always been my favorite.
The answers are short (one to three words), the rest of the sentence gives you a clue as to the answer, and that blank space is just waiting to be completed.
In honor of all the possibilities, here are some of my favorite fill in the blank questions.
I love books because __________.
I hated __________ because __________.
My favorite book is __________.
The best time to read is __________.
If I could marry any character, I’d marry __________ in a heartbeat.
If I could be any character, I’d totally be __________.
If I could meet any author, I’d have a chat with __________ about __________.
Your turn
How would you fill in these blanks? What are your favorite fill in the blank questions?
I love books because they’re smarter than most people I know.
I hated having a job because it took time away from reading and my kids.
My favorite book is really more like my top ten books.
The best time to read is when it’s overcast and raining outside.
If I could marry any character, I’d marry Rhett Butler in a heartbeat.
If I could be any character, I’d totally be Scarlett (only smarter and nicer).
If I could meet any author, I’d have a chat with Flaubert about Emma.
Oooh, Rhett Butler — delicious, even though he’s a “damn Yankee.”
I love books because a good one can keep me up all night unlike any movie or TV show.
I hated elementary school because all the kids picked on me.
My favorite book is Leading with My Chin by Jay Leno.
The best time to read is right before bed because you have everything done and can just concentrate on your book.
If I could marry any character, I’d marry Mary Jane Watson in a heartbeat.
If I could be any character, I’d totally be Dirk Pitt.
If I could meet any author, I’d chat with Meghan McCain about us having dinner.
Dirk Pitt is such a badass.
I love books because they take me somewhere else, and let me imagine being there.
I hated The Great Gatsby because it was paragraph after paragraph of meaningless drivel. I only read the first few chapters. 🙂
My favorite book is Nancy Drew, The Secret in the Old Clock.
The best time to read is right now.
If i could marry any character, I’d marry… hmmm… not sure…
If I could be any character, I’d totally be Miss Marple.
If I could meet any author, I’d have a chat with Richard Castle about creating characters.
Nice choice of author to chat with. I still haven’t gotten the most recent book, but it’s on my list. I would interview Castle if the definition of “interview” was a little looser… 😉
