Multiple choice

The multiple choice question type is a very useful question type that allows you to ask your audience for an answer from a restricted set of choices.

As well as editing the text, you can also move the answer up and down by hovering over the Radio button until you see it changed to two-horizontal bar icon. Click the two-horizontal bar icon and drag and drop the answer as you wish. If you would like to add a new answer, click on the + button and if you wish to delete an answer, simply click the garbage can icon. Take a look at the short video for a visual example:
