I am attaching the new markup. Note that JSF can't do an aria-labelledby so I use <label>s with sr-only class

I didn't fully appreciate how well multiple full in the blanks are labelled with because of issues with Markup text I used for testing (good example based on above question https://www.screencast.com/t/sgkvw3ok )
Other LMS uses the pattern recommended
I still think 2+ blanks FIB questions require a more systematic approach for navigation blanks with an assistive device, but this is perhaps better handled as a feature request and uncoupled as a subtask?

SAM-2995 added labels to fill in the blank questions. This meets accessibility specs, but in complex scenarios with multiple blanks and poorly designed questions that form a sentence without the blanks, a sighted user has an advantage still.
After discussing with Sakai Accessibility Working Group and reviewing other solutions, a proposed solution was to provided hidden text that notes the number of blanks, reads out "blank space 1" etc. and the labels number off.
Example markup text:
Currently creates:
Better would be to actually remove the dynamic labels added in SAM-2995 and use:
If there is agreement on this a related approach could be taken for numeric questions.
