Given that drag and drops allow an unequal number of drop objects and drop
targets, perhaps it would be more logical to only change drop object states
if they have been dropped.

I think most learners, me included, only expect to see correct and
incorrect answers associated with dropped objects, and not those that have
been left alone. Having an undropped object shown as incorrect is not that
useful anyway, if there is more than one incorrect drop.

Anyhow, I understand better now that there's more to this than meets the
eye initially.

Thanks for being responsive!
