Cloze questions are questions containing sentences with one or more blanks and multiple choices listed to pick an answer from. In this work, we present an automatic Cloze Question Generation (CQG) system that generates a list of important cloze questions given an English article. Our system is divided into three modules: sentence selection, keyword selection and distractor selection. We also present evaluation guidelines to evaluate CQG systems. Using these guidelines three evaluators report an average score of 3.18 (out of 4) on Cricket World Cup 2011 data.
