I have created a question which requires two responses. I have included a list of possible responses which includes a third correct alternative. Unfortunately, I am having difficulty setting up a variable which allows for the built-in alternatives.
If anyone could assist, I would be most grateful! Please find attached, my feeble attempt! :-(
Move the trigger to Submit after the three triggers to jump to the next slide, and it seems to work perfectly.
The Try Again and Incorrect layers work, but I don't think you can get the Correct layer to work if you are going to allow 2 out of 3 correct answers to be correct.
In that case, just have the Next Slide serve as the Correct feedback, and have the Continue button on the Incorrect layer jump to the slide following.

Hi Walt
Many thanks you for taking the time to reply. Your suggestion has worked perfectly so I am up and running again. I am still learning the craft, so your timely help has been invaluable.
Just as a matter of interest...any idea why the default 'Correct' slide is not appearing?
I took a look at your course - and the Correct layer appeared for me when I choose all three options that you have identified as correct. I didn't see any other slides though as a part of this project?
Let me know if I'm misunderstanding and you need more help.
I don't think you can get the Correct layer to work if you are going to allow 2 out of 3 correct options to be considered a correct answer.
The triggers you have to jump to the next slide if 2 & 4, or 2 & 6, or $ & 6 are selected jump to the next slide, bypassing the normal testing. This is what you want. If you want a Correct message, put it on the next slide. Then have that slide jump to the slide after it, which is the continuation of the project.
Incorrect answers do normal testing, and give incorrect feedback. This is what you want. Change the "Continue" button on the incorrect slide to jump, not to the next sldie (which has the correct message), but to the slide after that, which is the continuation of the project.
Definitely a good point - if using those state triggers to go to a particular slide, that'll bypass the correct feedback - but the way the question is set up, since we don't allow for partial scoring is that the user must answer with all three options to be scored correctly and see that feedback.
just a quick update on the above. When the user would choose the correct answers and click the 'Submit' button, the next slide would appear thereby bypassing the Correct / Incorrect / Try Again layers.
As there were a number of possible correct answers, I set up a series of triggers which allow for the display of the 'Correct' layer by including conditions which offered the combination of all possible correct answers.
Many thanks again for such great support. I'm sure I will pop up again shortly with another question! :-)

The original post required only two responses.
I don't think scoring is required, but if it is, that opens up a much larger question.

Thanks Ide for sharing the update and including the file here as well - always great to see what folks end up coming up with.
