This is what I thought also, instead of selecting the answer choices could I do a {{type:notes}} or {{type:extra}} and have them type in the answer? I don’t want to just say the answer in my mind. I want to type it or select it. Or am I asking for too much from one card?
You can combine cloze and type-answer if you like. But you’ll only be able to have one type-answer field, even if you have 2 clozes, so see the advice about how to deal with that. Field Replacements - Anki Manual
