A multiple-choice question is followed by a list of possible answer choices. Unlike single-choice questions, multiple-choice questions allow for more than one answer to be selected

A text answer question requires learners to provide a written response to a question. These questions typically ask for a short answer, a sentence, or a brief explanation.

 4. Inline choice

An inline choice question is a sentence or statement containing one or more blank spaces, where each blank space corresponds to a list of options in a dropdown. Learners are required to select the correct option for each blank space to complete the sentence or statement.

 5. Likert scale

Learners are asked to indicate their level of agreement or disagreement with a statement by selecting the option that best reflects their opinion.

6. Title

Titles can be inserted to allow you to divide the survey into different sections or provide an explanation for the question before users begin answering it.

7. Page break

Page breaks allow you to divide the survey into pages.
