Hi, i making a Quiz Matching Drop Down where the student need to select the right options, there are 2 questions, and they have only 2 options to select. I want to add 2 more answers "wrong answers to select just to add more difficult".
Someone know how can i add more answers to select but without add more questions in this kind of slide?
I believe in that question type each item must have a matching response to appear in the list. In Form View, I tried to 'trick it' by adding a blank space in the question area with an answer, but that resulted in too many drop-down bars.
Have you tried a freeform drag and drop question? That should allow you to add more answers than questions. Here’s a built-in template called Axis I downloaded from the Content Library that has 4 answer choices. I removed 2 question and placement boxes so it looks like there are more choices than questions. Maybe this can help!
Thanks both. Yes Ren i also have tried other type of slides, like multiple choice, but my client have a request that there must be 1 question per slide and a lot of answers to select, where just 1 is the correct. So in multiple choice the size of the screen wont allow me to add a lot of choices, Matching Drop Down have the perfect design to add a lot of answers to select. But there must be a way to do this.
In my quiz there is 4 questions, by the size of the screen i can just add 2 questions per slide, but the student need to have the 4 choices to select "Fortalezas, Amenazas, Oportunidades, Debilidades".
Thanks for sharing your samples Marco, I understand why you'd like to use the drop-down. Take a peek at this article on creating your own drop-down lists. If this doesn't help, perhaps someone in the community can suggest a good workaround to this question type.
I think it's a great design. Maybe you can submit a feature request and be able to easily add choices in the future!
Thanks a lot, i will check the article to know how to make my own drop down list, just wondering if this method can send results. And for sure i will submit a feature request, i saw some examples in Flash, so this option must be on storyline.

You cannot the matching drop down is a one to one match

As Ten suggests the only way would be to build your own drop downs.

Click the link below to review an example to hopefully what you are looking for. I had to do this for a project: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/55d51d2f-fce5-46c4-8c4d-13f13572428a/review
The correct answer is:
Adenovirus, Adenovirus, Retrovirus, Retrovirus, Adenovirus, Retrovirus
Do you mind providing the source file so that I may see how you went about this?
