Question text of questionmultx questions

Added by Florian Schoengassner about 12 years ago

I followed how to shuffle list elements in a text for a 'match up th... to get a 'match up the list' type of question to work, but there are some slight problems:
  • The "\AMCnumericChoices" elements start with 0 but my list of "items" starts of course with 1. Is there a way to force it to start with 1.
  • How can I choose/define a question text in the questionmultx element?
\element{stud}{
    \item\AMClabel{fi} first
    }
\element{stud}{
    \item\AMClabel{se} second
    }
\element{stud}{
    \item\AMClabel{th} third
    }
\element{stud}{
    \item\AMClabel{fo} fourth
    }
\element{zo01}{
    \begin{questionmultx}{sefi}
    A
    \AMCnumericChoices{\AMCref{fi}}{digits=1,base=5,sign=false, scoreexact=0.25} 
    \end{questionmultx}
    }
\element{zo01}{
    \begin{questionmultx}{sese}
    M
    \AMCnumericChoices{\AMCref{se}}{digits=1,base=5,sign=false}     
    \end{questionmultx}
    }
\element{zo01}{
    \begin{questionmultx}{seth}
    C
    \AMCnumericChoices{\AMCref{th}}{digits=1,base=5,sign=false} 
    \end{questionmultx}
    }
\element{zo01}{
    \begin{questionmultx}{sefo}
    is great
    \AMCnumericChoices{\AMCref{fo}}{digits=1,base=5,sign=false} 
    \end{questionmultx}
    }

\begin{flushleft}\bf
  Order the following items to get a valid sentence:
\end{flushleft}

\begin{enumerate}
\insertgroup{stud}
\end{enumerate}

\shufflegroup{zo01}
\insertgroup{zo01}

Is there a way to force it to start with 1.

Not yet. You can try using \usepackage{nozero} (after \usepackage{automultiplechoice}) with the attached package in the same directory as the source file: simply add option nozero=true for AMCnumericChoices.

How can I choose/define a question text in the questionmultx element?

What do you need exactly?

If have added the resulting pdf for the above example. As you can see the questionmultx parts create Question 1 aso. How can I change that?

Maybe you can redefine (locally) the \AMCbeginQuestion LaTeX macro, which defaults to

\def\AMCbeginQuestion#1#2{\par\noindent{\bf Question #1} #2\hspace*{1em}}

Perfect :)

thanks, but when i used the tex file in AMC , i got this messege:

LaTeX Error: File `nozero.sty' not found.
Emergency stop.

how i can install "nozero.sty" in ubuntu?

RE: Question text of questionmultx questions - Added by Florian Schoengassner about 12 years ago

There are several different ways to do that depending if only you or all users on the system want to use it. I assume that you downloaded the nozero.sty from above to your home directory.

  1. Just for you:
    cd ~
mkdir -p texmf/tex/latex/nozero
cp nozero.sty ~/texmf/tex/latex/nozero
texhash ~/texmf
  2. For all users:
    cd ~
sudo mkdir /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/nozero 
sudo cp nozero.sty /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/nozero
sudo texhash

Note that in revision r1211 the nozero option was added to AMC, so that you won't have to use \usepackage{nozero} anymore.
