Language teachers often quote a paragraph and then make several multiple choice questions related to it. It is important that the paragraph and the following questions come in a fixed sequence. I can put quoted text in a box in a minipage, for example like this:

Questions 1

A
B
C
D
boxed minipage with quoted text

Question 2

A
B
C
D

Question 3

A B C D

In this scenario, boxed minipage with quoted text is actually referred to in Questions 2 and 3, although AMC-TXT sees the minipage as part of the choice D in Question 1.

For this scenario to work, I need to be able to define Questions 1,2 and 3 as appearing in a fixed sequence. However I would like to be able to shuffle other questions in the exam freely. Is there a way to do this in AMC-TXT?

For example, I was thinking of defining a new option for questions:

<pre>
*[fixed] This is a second question. This question will appear as a second question regardless of ShuffleQuestions:1.
+
-
-
-
</pre>


Even better, one would be able to define a sequence of questions to be shuffled as a block.

For example:
<pre>


*[block1] Question1 This question can be shuffled in the exam but it would always end up
preceding Question2.
+
-
-
+

**[block1] Question2 This question can be shuffled in the exam but it would always finish in
a position directly after Question1.
-
+
+
+
</pre>


Then one could define different blocks/groups of questions [block2],[block3], etc.

Thanks for your hard work,
