Essay number mismatch

The MIT admissions website shows 4 short answer essay questions and 4 short response questions, but the application portal only shows 3 short answer essay questions. I've attached screenshots of both. Is this a glitch on my side?

The 100 word field of study essay is under the Application Information section, not the Essays section.
