Final answer:

To link a test and a question together, a database record with a relational structure is required. It involves creating a 'tests' table and a 'questions' table where the questions table has a foreign key relating to the primary key of the tests table.

Step-by-step explanation:

To link a test and a question together in a database record, one would need to create a relational structure using tables that can reference each other. Typically, this is achieved using a foreign key in the questions table that references the primary key in the tests table. This ensures that each question is associated with the appropriate test. The 'tests' table would generally include fields such as test_id (primary key), test_name, subject, and any other relevant details about the test. The 'questions' table would include fields such as question_id (primary key), test_id (foreign key), question_text, correct_answer, and other pertinent details. The foreign key relationship between the tables creates a link that allows one to query the database to find all questions associated with a certain test or to identify the test associated with a given question.
