short answer

Any question on an exam that isn't multiple choice or matching. This is every student's worst nightmare and is the most common reason they fail, partly because they have no idea what to write down.
I failed the exam because every question was short answer.

Anti-Answer

An answer to a question that states the obvious in a way that isn't overtly apparent. It may sound insightful, depending on the wording, but it actually contains zero information. It's essentially dodging a question without having to feel bad about it.
Exhibit A: Restating the question in an anti-answer.
"What would happen if there was 3 ducks over there?"
"There would be 3 ducks over there."

Exhibit B: Using wording that sounds insightful in an anti-answer.
"How hard is beating someone in Chess compared to beating someone in Checkers?"
"It could be more or less."
