Description
Specifies the answer to the current question, part (in Multipart questions), or response object (in Inline questions).
The \blank
macro has three different
definitions, depending on the question type in which it is
used.
The basic form of \answer
For most question types, \answer
takes one
argument: the answer to the question, in whatever form that
question type expects.
Syntax
\answer{correct-answer}
- correct-answer
- The correct answer to the current question.
However, the syntax is different for Numeric and List questions; see below.
\answer
in Numeric
questions
Numeric questions have
the capability to present the student with separate entry
cells for the numeric and units parts of their response. For
these questions, the \answer
macro
accepts an optional argument, which is taken to be the units
in which the correct answer is given.
If the optional argument is omitted, only one entry cell will appear in the question.
Syntax
\answer[units]{numeric-part}
- units option
- The units in which the answer is given. The student is not required to answer in these units, but their answer must be equivalent to the specified answer.
- numeric-part
- The numeric part of the answer.
\answer
in List questions
Please refer the entry for List questions for a description of the grading capabilities of this question type.
Syntax
\answer{credit}{answer}
- credit
- The amount of credit that a response matching this answer will receive. Must be a decimal value between 0 and 1, inclusive.
- answer
- The answer against which the student's response is to be compared.
