Editing (coding) a Likert Scale to include a Text Only option

Hello,
I am creating a Likert Scale question on my research Survey.
Out of the 7 statements I have. I need to change 2 statements to NOT include a scale, but rather just 1) text entry and another with 2) Yes/NO
This is still within the same Likert-scale question, and not a separate Text-entry question.

For example:
Statement 1: Strongly disagree -- disagree -- neutral -- agree -- strongly agree
Statement 2: Strongly disagree -- disagree -- neutral -- agree -- strongly agree
...
Statement 6: Enter Text here (no scales)
Statement 7: Yes/No (no scales)

Can anyone help me out with this, is it possible to code this????
Thank you!!!!

Do not add page break between them.
Create Q1 as Matrix question with 5 statements and 5 scale points
Create Q2 as text entry -> form type question and with 1 form field. Enter the statement 6 in the "Click to write Form Field 1" box. Do not enter anything in the question text
Create Q3 as matrix question with 1 statement ( for statement 7) and 2 scale points (Yes/No). Do not enter anything in the question text.

In JS of Q2 and Q3 paste the below code:
jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .QuestionText").hide();

    Instead of having them in same question, we can also separate them into three, and remove question gaps between them so that it appears as a same question.

    Hi!
    How would you remove a question gap?
    I could separate them into 3, then add a page break between every set, but that's not user friendly to keep going through pages while answering the survey.
