Jaws Multiple choice question not pausing for periods when sentences are ending with a number.

Jaws Multiple choice question not reading/pausing for periods when sentences are ending with a number.

If my first sentence end with "1." Next sentence, Jaws will not pause for the period. 

If my first sentence end with "1a." (or any letter),  Next sentence, Jaws will pause for the period and read the next sentence.

Temporary solution: Added a space before the period to fix this.
