The first blank implies that in a multiple-choice test, one needs to recognize or identify the relevant information rather than recall or retrieve it from memory. For the second blank, the essay test requires more emphasis on the ability to recall the relevant information and use it to construct an essay, rather than just recognizing or identifying it. Thus, the best choice is A, where the first blank is filled with "recognize" and the second blank is filled with "recall".
