Explanation For Answer | Here you can type
an explanation for your answer that will explain why the correct answer
was correct. You do not have to enter anything here. An explanation will
only appear if the user got the question wrong.
Before your explanation, the user will always see a statement laid out in the following way: Q1- Incorrect. Actual Answer was A. |
The following
