Create Answers for Questions

You must create possible answers after adding a question for a quiz. You can add as many possible answers as needed for each question. When you are creating answers, the system uses colored text as a visual clue to distinguish the correct answers from the incorrect answers. All correct answers display in green text. All incorrect answers display in red text. You can designate more than one correct answer for each question as needed.

  1. Open the quiz slide that contains the questions you want to create answers for (for more information, see the View Slides topic).
  2. Select the question you want to create answers for and click the Add Answer button.


    A blank Answer entry is added below the question.
  3. Type the answer as you want it to display in the presentation.
    The answer displays in the text entry section just as it will display in the presentation.
  4. By default, the answer displays in red text, which indicates that it will be scored as an incorrect answer. Select the check box to the left of the answer to indicate it is the correct answer. All correct answers display in green text. Remember, you can designate multiple correct answers to the same question, as needed.
