"MultipleChoice" (Question Interface Type)

"MultipleChoice" (Question Interface Type)

"MultipleChoice"

presents multiple values from which one is chosen.

Details

  • In a multiple-choice question, exactly one answer must be chosen from the list of possible choices.
  • By default, "MultipleChoice" question interfaces use radio buttons for selection.

Properties

Corresponding AssessmentFunction

  • Except for limited special cases, "MultipleChoice" is the automatically assigned interface type for an AssessmentFunction of the form AssessmentFunction[{k11,k20,k30…}] with multiple defined keys and only one correct key.
  • The values in the assessment function can be True and False or numeric values, in which case positive values are interpreted as correct.

Basic Examples  (2)

Create a multiple-choice interface:

Wolfram Language code: QuestionObject[QuestionInterface["MultipleChoice", <|"Choices" -> {"Red", "Blue", "Green"}, "Prompt" -> "Pick a color"|>]]

Multiple choice with assessment:

Wolfram Language code: QuestionObject[QuestionInterface["MultipleChoice", "How many career home runs did Hank Aaron hit?"], AssessmentFunction[{714 -> False, 755 -> True, 868 -> False}]]

Scope  (2)

A multiple-choice question with multiple possible correct answers:

Wolfram Language code: QuestionObject[QuestionInterface["MultipleChoice", "Pick one correct square root of 4:"], AssessmentFunction[{-2 -> True, 0 -> False, 2 -> True, 1 -> False}]]

A multiple-choice question with customized appearance using the options of RadioButtonBar:

Wolfram Language code: QuestionObject[QuestionInterface["MultipleChoice", <|"Prompt" -> "Select a prime number", Appearance -> {Tiny, "Horizontal" -> {Automatic, 7}}, Method -> "Active", ImageMargins -> 4|>], AssessmentFunction[(# -> PrimeQ@#)& /@ DeleteCases[Range[101, 141], _ ? EvenQ]]]

Properties & Relations  (1)

An automatically generated multiple-choice question interface with assessment:

Wolfram Language code: QuestionObject["Pick a color", AssessmentFunction[{"Red" -> 1, "Blue" -> 0, "Green" -> 0}]]

The same question explicitly specified as multiple choice:

Wolfram Language code: QuestionObject[QuestionInterface["MultipleChoice", "Pick a color"], AssessmentFunction[{"Red" -> 1, "Blue" -> 0, "Green" -> 0}]]
