How the Google Forms Format Works:

Google Forms are paperless and self-grading. As students complete the activity, grades and data are collected automatically. You will be able to see each student's answers. You will also be able to analyze each question, and view how many students answered each question correctly and incorrectly.

How the Google Slides Format Works:

Google Slides are paperless, as well. There is one task card per slide (39 slides in all). When I created this version, I envisioned teachers using these slides in a group setting, where the teacher and students read the cards and identify the best answer together. They can also be assigned for independent work.
