Multiple-choice question..

[Murali Mani]

I am trying to include a multiple-choice question.. I have the following code right now.. I would prefer the following: (a) Not highlight the correct answer when the page loads (b) Can I change the display of the choices to be aligned (c) I think the display of options like A can be avoided.. This is the code I have right now..  appreciate your suggestions.. thanks, murali.

    <exercise>

      <statement>

        <p>What is printed by the C++ program (lines 13, 14)</p>

      </statement>

      <choices>

        <choice correct="no">

          <statement>

<line><code>s1 ID = 101</code></line>

<line><code>s2 ID = 101</code></line>

            </statement>

          </choice>

        <choice correct="yes">

          <statement>

<line><code>s1 ID = 101</code></line>

<line><code>s2 ID = 202</code></line>

            </statement>

          </choice>

        <choice correct="no">

          <statement>

<line><code>s1 ID = 202</code></line>

<line><code>s2 ID = 101</code></line>

            </statement>

          </choice>

        <choice correct="no">

          <statement>

<line><code>s1 ID = 202</code></line>

<line><code>s2 ID = 202</code></line>

            </statement>

          </choice>

      </choices>

    </exercise>

a) I see no sign of correct answer being highlighted. If you have answered the question before and reload the page, your previous answer is restored - is that what you see?

b) I don't believe line is valid there. To render console output, you probably want something like:

          <statement>
            <console>
              <output>
                s1 ID = 101asdf
                s1 ID = 101
              </output>
            </console>
          </statement>

Thank you, Andrew..

(a) -- you are absolutely correct.. that was what was happening..

(b) that does work as I expected.. I also found <cd> to give the same look and feel.. Probably there are some subtle distinctions regarding when to use one over the other..

again, thank you.. I believe my question (c) is not significant -- it is ok to have the choices be explicitly labeled as "A", etc.. (works fine with <console><output>

thanks and best, murali.
