Quiz type: A or B?

Hi, after getting a better idea of animating and making custom UI I am moving on to quizzes for the first time.

Hence my question may be dumb...

a. Is there a way to make a quiz in which the learner has to choose between 2 alternatives.
E.g.

Which options is better in this instance?
(checkbox) a           (checkbox) b

Then they choose on or the other and click submit etc.

Is there a way to do that easily with a quiz slide?

b. Can we include a drag and drop into a quiz somehow?

Thanks for sharing your wisdom!

    For your first question: you don't use checkboxes if there is only one correct answer, but radio buttons. The True/False type of question will do the trick. Change the text 'True' to 'a' and False to 'b'.

    Drag&Drop has a Reporting part in the Properties panel where you can add this to the Quiz. More info:

    Oops, I didn't include a screenshot because I have no idea which version you use.

    Captivate 9.

    Thanks!

    So I will try the radio button approach with a true/false option. (I actually meant these icons but couldn´t remember the term, sorry)

    One question, doing the lay out in quiz slides seems sluggish and awkward though I have 16 gigs of RAM. What am I doing wrong?

    Try to clear the cache regularly. Sometimes Captivate can be slow, not only RAM counts, it is a graphics-heavy application. A dedicated graphics card, and launching from a SSD with a powerful processor speeds up things as well.
