Four choices makes it easier to construct the questions, five makes the questions more discriminating (it makes guessing a little more difficult), but on balance I think it's better to have more questions with four choices than fewer with five choices. >For instance: > > ma ma dunli le ka valsi > 1. cinrai > 2. ci'onrai > 3. cimrai > 4. citrai > A. le 1moi le 2moi > B. le 1moi le 3moi > C. le 1moi le 4moi > D. le 2moi le 3moi > E. le 2moi le 4moi > F. le 3moi le 4moi Which could instead be something like: zo ci'onrai ma dunli lo ka valsi A. zo cikrai B. zo cimrai C. zo cinrai D. zo citrai mu'o mi'e xorxes
