Multiple choice quizzes do not Show solution for options not selected

Bugs in content types

Hi there,

First up, I searched for this issue but haven't found it; sorry in case I missed it.

More importantly, I was wondering whether it's a bug that in my multiple choice quizzes with "Show solution" there is no indication whether options that were NOT selected are correct or not.

So, e.g. if there is a question where A, B and C are correct but a user chooses only B and D, they only see a green tick for B and a red X for D. However, there is no hint that A and C would also be correct (much like with single-choice questions). Is that on purpose? And if so, can it be overridden somehow?

Thanks for any help!

Hi!

What you describe is what would happen if you check the answer in a Multiple Choice Quiz. That will only give you information about actual answers on the left-hand side, yes.

You can then (if the author allowed), click on the show solution button which will reveal information about all answer options in the right-hand side.

Thanks, I checked back, tried with a sample quiz offline and then realized that some of my CSS suppressed the checkboxes. Just in case somebody has the same problem.

Thank you so much, I hadn't realized that there was some CSS that hid this.
