                    Why use tabular or fill-in-a-table questions?
                     
                    • Allow you to structure answers within a table format, perfect for evaluating skills such as classification, data completion, matching, grammar correction, or computation.
                    • Especially powerful when response cells must align with organized columns and rows, offering both flexibility and clarity for evaluators and test-takers.
