### Why this is wrong
- The QTI source asks learners to populate a table via three `inlineChoiceInteraction` dropdowns; that structure is the core skill being assessed.
- This template discards the table entirely and replaces the activity with a single `choiceInteraction`, collapsing the task into a basic multiple-choice guess.
- By remapping the interaction type we hide the data-reading workflow, so the generated items no longer exercise the intended procedural reasoning.

### General rule
- Templates must clone the source item's interaction pattern exactly—interaction type, placement inside body structures, and interaction count all have to match. There is **no** fallback or alternate interaction allowed.

### Fix
- Mirror the table plus inline dropdown arrangement from the source item; only update the concrete numbers or text that populate that structure while keeping the interaction skeleton untouched.
