Recognition is easier than recall — use that

Picking the right answer from four options is a genuinely easier task than producing the word from nothing. That makes multiple choice the right mode when a word is new and flashcards still feel like a wall, and the wrong mode when you want to know whether you really have it. A reasonable pattern is quiz first, flashcards second, spaced review to keep it.

The distractors are not random

The three wrong answers are drawn from the same part of speech as the right one wherever possible, so a noun competes against other nouns rather than against a preposition. That keeps the question about meaning rather than about spotting the odd one out.
