Multiple choice question can be referred to as an ITEM<\/span><\/strong> which is made up of a stem and options<\/p>\n\n

STEM <\/span><\/strong>contains the information identifying the topic, parameters and then asks the question<\/p>\n\n

OPTIONS<\/strong><\/span> contain all the possible responses:<\/p>\n\n

\n\t
for a single answer one response is correct and the others are wrong (known as distractors)<\/li>\n\t
for a multiple answer such as select all that apply, there is more than one correct response and one or more wrong responses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
