A well constructed multiple choice test is more reliable/valid. They are not that difficult to construct. In a perfect world, those are the kind of tests we would be taking. See SAT's and such as an example.
So Illinois has done something correctly !!!!
IHSA has been using multiple choice questions for a few years now.
Only 25-30 questions.

Why couldn't the B2 attempt to get to 1st if the R1 was attempting to get to 2nd at the beginning of the play?

Because those are the rules. 1st has to be open at the time of pitch or there must be 2 outs for the B to become a BR on a dropped third strike.

If R1 doesn't go to 2nd with 2 outs on a dropped 3rd strike, could the fielders tag R1 standing on 1st for a out or is the batter out if the R1 doesn't try to advance to 2nd?

I auggest you take this back to basics rather than thinking of the runner's and BR's status being different because it was a D3K.

With less than 2 outs and 1B empty at the time of the pitch or with 2 outs, if strike 3 is uncaught, the batter becomes a batter-runner.

Everything after that is exactly the same as for any other reason the batter becomes a batter-runner.

It becomes a force play. For example, with the bases loaded on a D3K & 2 outs, the catcher merely has to step on the plate with possession of the ball. Forces are in effect at all bases.
