Highlight items are presented as a sentence or several sentences forming a paragraph.
The candidate must click to highlight and select text as a response to the item. Not all text included in the sentence or paragraph is enabled to be selected. In such cases, the candidate will see the ΓΈ symbol displayed when the mouse hovers over the text. This indicates the text is not a response option, and the candidate will not be able to select it. Text that is enabled to be selected is identified by a highlighted hue when the mouse hovers over the test. The candidate should review any remaining text, select their response choice(s) and click submit to move to the next item.
