Fill-In-the-Blanks usually require just a phrase or word to answer. 
If they ask for examples, be sure & include those.
This Exam Review covers the material for the Fill-In-the-Blank questions.

Short Answers require a narrative type of answer that should not simply be a list. 
The list may be at the heart of the answer, but you are evaluated on how well you transform 
       a list or idea into a narrative paragraph with comparisons, examples, etc. 
Average length:  one-half hand-written page.

Essays have the same requirements as short answers except that the average length is two hand-written pages.
