Across every single activity detailed in this section, there is an absolute, non-negotiable rule: Never provide sentences out of context.

Even if a quiz only contains five or ten sentences for a student to match, complete, or highlight, those sentences must form a single, continuous, and logically coherent narrative passage (and preferably one from content they recently read or listened to) so there is a larger context around the selected sentences used in the quiz that their mind can reference and use in answering the quiz).

This applies to both NeuroFluent and NeuroSwitch quizzes.

Consider this well-designed, highly contextual, NeuroSwitch assessment block:

Johnny ran down the snowy hill laughing and catching snowflakes on his tongue.
El sol frío brillaba como diamantes en la blanca nieve.
A cool wind blew his brown hair and bit his cheeks.
Emma se reía de fondo mientras se deslizaba por la colina en su trineo.
"Watch out! Here I come!" she whooped.

By keeping the sentences bound together within a clear, cohesive story, the student benefits from immense contextual support.

If a beginner encounters the second sentence and does not completely understand the foreign language words, they can easily read the first and third native sentences to deduce exactly what the second line means. This environmental support makes it incredibly easy to locate missing words, connect pairs, or write translations successfully.
