    I find it easier with a list, because in the example of the video, i would’ve filled the gap with the word “drawing”. This word is mentioned in the text as: “Drawing was the only way in which the story (…) could be recorded”.
    Considering the word limit, I would never think of putting an incomplete answer like only “sequential art” or “serial art”, when in the text they are together.
    These kind of things make me nervous, because what I thought it was an obvious answer, turns out it’s not.
