The Choices

For multiple-choice questions, you need at least one distractor. The others are optional.

Advice

To write a quiz of this type that is fair and fun for the student, you need to be careful that answer can be successfully "predicted" by the student.

Here's an example of a BAD (UNFAIR) question.
- q1=Have you ever ___?
- fa1=swum <= CORRECT ANSWER
- b1=swim <= DISTRACTOR #1
- c1=swimming <= DISTRACTOR #2
- d1=swam <= DISTRACTOR #3
This is bad because the student could have typed "walked" and it would have been gramatically correct.
The above question, could be made usable in the following way.
- q1=Have you ever ___ (swim)?
- fa1=swum
- b1=swim
- c1=swimming
- d1=swam
