It is possible to essentially hack a Cloze problem together using the advanced editor and inline CSS, but this is messy and difficult for many authors and is not recommended:

Not only is this messy and awkward (there may be better methods, this is simply the quickest, but none of them are good), but the label text ends up displaying extremely strangely unless additional steps are taken. Spacing is also strange unless more custom CSS is included, and in general, problems were simply never intended to be built this way, so it cannot be considered a supported feature.
