    "Make sure to place the longest answer at the top of the list..."

    I've tried it. It works, but I'd add extra spacing after the 1st item since the drop-down arrow blocks part of the word.

    I rarely use the default FIB type of question for more that this reason. If necessary I will certainly put the longest word on top of the list, and eventually add spaces as DH hba also mentioned.

    My work around is determine the longest word in the blank or the in the drop down list if you set the fill in the blank with a list of possible answers and then add five spaces after the text with the space bar - not scientific but it works - Captivate is not Adobe LiveCycle where you can control the character width of the drop down list.
