You are constructing an application for prospective members of your club. you expect to have at least 100 applicants and will only accept 10. which structure would be best suited to your needs?

a combination of fill-in-the-blank and short answer questions

an essay explaining why they should be selected

a fill-in-the-blank listing personal information and gpa

a checklist of activities and clubs with a space for their name

3. A fill-in-the-blank listing personal information and GPA

Step-by-step explanation:

We are constructing an application to be a member of the club which is expected to have 100 applicants.

Out of the 100 applicants, only 10 are to be selected.

Let us go option by option:

1. A combination of fill-in-the-blank and short answer questions.

Using this method can be effective but it can lead to many applicants scoring the same, making it difficult to discard the candidates.

2. An essay explaining why they should be selected.

This method will not give us any information in order to discard the candidate eligible for the club as every essay will have generalized way of telling why the candidate is the right choice.

3. A fill-in-the-blank listing personal information and GPA.

This will be the most effective method as it gives many options by which we can discard applicants such as the location they live, their age and many more.

But, most importantly, collecting the GPA of applicants will provide a very strong criteria to reject an application.

4. A checklist of activities and clubs with a space for their name.

This method will not be that effective as many people join different clubs and do various activities just out of curiosity and might not be effective for our club.

Hence, we see that option 3 will be the best option suited for our need.
