Knowledge integration questions emphasize the integration of provided information from multiple areas of knowledge. Correctly answering these questions will draw on understanding from a substantial body of knowledge. They should not have an accompanying image.
These are the most common type of questions used in multiple choice exams but are also the hardest to write.
