Solutions with explanation text
Added by Antonio Morales almost 10 years ago
Is there any possibility to generate explained solutions to the questions ? Currently the 'answers' options only marks the correct choices of the questions. What i would like is to add some text to explain the correct answer and why the other are wrong. Also in the case of open questions I would like the substitute or fill in the box with a text with a correct answer.
In the past I used the exam class for latex an there was some options to so this. I also used at some point the 'ifthen' and 'comment' packages for having environments which were produced depending on a boolean option. I'm a bit afraid to do this with AMC latex because i don't get the internals of the package and could boroke something.
Has anyone a solution for this ?

You can type in a question environment (only with the development version)
\explain{}
A simple example:
\begin{question}{explanation} Which has the highest elevation among the following? \begin{choices} \correctchoice{Sagarmatha} \wrongchoice{K2} \wrongchoice{Mont Blanc} \wrongchoice{Aconcagua} \end{choices} \explain{Sagarmatha which literally means `Head of sky' is the native name of Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world.} \end{question}
To install test version
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexis.bienvenue/test sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install auto-multiple-choice

For open questions there is already an option@ answer=text@, for example:
\begin{question}{open}
Define \emph{inflation}.
\AMCOpen{lines=5,answer=some text here}{\wrongchoice[W]{w}\scoring{0}\wrongchoice[P]{p}\scoring{1}\correctchoice[C]{c}\scoring{2}}
\end{question}
However, this seems to only fill one line of the answer box, may not be entirely what you need.
