Multiple Choice Questions

• Characteristics of multiple choice questions

The multiple choice questions (also calls from multiple decision or multiple choice, in English) are those that directly present a series of options, from which the correct one must be chosen.

Multiple-choice or multiple-choice questions are an intermediate path between closed questions (which usually limit the answer between two options) and open questions (which offer infinite answer paths).

Multiple-choice questions are widely used in school-wide exams, as this form of exam allows quick correction.

Characteristics of multiple choice questions

• Whoever must answer them does not carry out an elaboration and creation action, but instead has a series of options and proceeds to choose between all of them.
• All the options you can choose from must be delimited.
• They are widely used in forms and surveys since the fact of having closed options allows them to be processed in an agile way.
• It is common for some questions to have the word 'other' as an option and an additional space to write, in the case that there are some options with a greater propensity to be answered than others, where the minority that does not answer the majority options write their reply.
