@StudyGurl14 

When the user is confused between 2 choices, I suggest you don't blurt out one of them as the answer.

I explained it...@Conqueror What do you suppose I do instead?

toloaf · Answer

That's kind of what I was thinking, but I still think it could be taste (b) because it does mention food. So confused.

Well, an explanation along with the answer doesn't work so well either. When you give the answer, then add an explanation, the user could just take the answer and run off without reading the explanation.

Instead, you can guide the user to understanding so that the user himself can make the decision.

That is a good point @Conqueror . However, perhaps leaving it up to the user would be giving them the option to learn from it if they choose and thus respecting their decisions. 

Also, what do you think about the question? Do you really think it is a? I still think it might be b.

conqueror · Answer

I'm not sure.

toloaf · Answer

Damn, okay.

toloaf · Answer

Hmmmm.... Just took the assessment. The first one was actually b (taste) and the second one was c (touch).
