I am trying to create a Matching Drop down question where on the left side I have 3 options but in the drop down I would like to have 8 choices. This obviously means that 5 answers are there only to confuse students. I cannot find a way to do this would anyone have a work around for me?
Didn't see this two years ago when first published, but this is doable in either SL1 or SL2.
To answer your question Sylvia, yes. My question back to you is if you are still requiring 3 selections/options with each option having 8 choices. And of those 8, two much be selected to receive correct response?
I'd be happy to toss a little prototype together. With a little object state texting and leveraging layers this can be done.
Thanks Kevin so much. I am still trying to work through how to phrase the questions/statements. I will definitely let you know when/if I get stuck. THANK YOU!

Hello, I am acutally trying to solve the same problem right now. Any help?
Hi Simon, there were no way to change this, I actually changed the question itself to fit the same number on each side.
I think you can do that via the freeform drop down.
See a VERY basic sample.
Hello Simon!
As Jacob stated, the freeform drag and drop option will allow you to add as many answer choices as needed. Hopefully this will work for you.
Thanks for sharing your file Jacob!
Thank you all very much.
Happy i could assist.
Thanks Jacob! This solved my matching dilemma as well.
Glad you were able to get the assistance you needed here Will :)
Is there a way to adapt this so that of those 8 answers two are correct and both need to be chosen to make the answer correct?
