Multiple Choice (TeX)

You can also create a Tex MC question from a blank TeX question type (obtained by following the instructions here) by including the following:

\choice{}{1}{Here is choice one.}
\choice{}{2}{You set the text yourself.}
\choice{}{3}{Even equations can go in here.}

"ans1 = 1;" indicates that the first choice is the correct answer. Notice that this is different than in free response, where the variable itself is being called. Ex: in multiple choice: ans1 =1 means the first answer choice is the correct answer. In free response ans1=1 means the number 1 is the solution. In free response ans1=@a1 calls a1 as the solution. In multiple choice ans1=@a1 will throw a validation error and will not move the question forward.
