This means it is worthless for a multiple choice test and should be a write-up with argumentation. A miniature dissertation.

Like, say, maturity exam is here in Poland. They're a pain to grade, have to be very careful guidelines and alert examiners.

I’m sorry, in what world is literature or English multiple choice?!

In Australia / NSW it’s essays and essays, including a creative writing prompt that I’ve always genuinely found fun. Think /r/writingprompts.

Never really engaged with the rest of English but it requires choosing your own texts (no list) to compare and dissect. Still flawed? Yeah, but I feel like ‘they tried’.

    If you click on the article, the first thing your eye is drawn to is an image of a multiple-choice scantron bubble-sheet. Its reasonable to think that this image is relevant to the discussion the article presents and to implicitly conclude that the article is describing a multiple-choice test.
