Comprehension is used for text comprehension tasks. Longer texts can be placed on the first task screen, and then questions related to the text can be asked on the next screen. The original text can be placed under the Info button, so it can be recalled at any time by the students. In this unit type, there are answer options to choose from in the answer field.
