The correct answer is: Through short answers followed by multiple-choice questions

In the study by Grant et al. (1998), participants' recall abilities were effectively assessed using a combination of short answer questions followed by multiple-choice questions. This approach allowed researchers to evaluate both the specific details that participants could remember from the material they read (assessed through short answers) and their recognition memory through multiple-choice questions. This method provided a comprehensive understanding of participants' recall abilities by measuring both the depth of recall (through short answers) and the ability to recognize information accurately (via multiple-choice). Such a balanced assessment is important in psychological research as it captures different facets of memory performance, making the results more robust.
